According to documents obtained by TMZ, the number of trademarks for the phrase has reached double digits. Companies want to use it on just about everything—from t-shirts to lubricants and even sexual stimulants. Yes, really.
Despite the wave of trademark filings, Hailey Welch, who coined the phrase, hasn’t filed any herself. It’s possible she might be using an alias or an LLC, but her name doesn’t appear on any of the current requests.

It’s clear why so many businesses are eager to jump on this trend. Poteete revealed that Fathead Threads has already grossed over $65k from merchandise featuring ‘Hawk Tuah’.
