Random Strangers Jam Achieves Milestone with Federal Trademark Registration

In a thrilling turn of events for the music community, Random Strangers Jam successfully secured federal trademark registration in the United States after a nearly two year registration process. This achievement is more than just a milestone; it signals a commitment to fostering an energetic atmosphere for both musicians and music fans in NYC and beyond.

This formal recognition guarantees the organization can protect its unique brand, ensuring Random Strangers Jam events and initiatives continue to flourish without the threat of imitation.

The Importance of Trademark Registration

Trademark registration is vital for any organization aiming to establish a strong presence in its field. For Random Strangers Jam, it means the name is now legally protected against unauthorized use. For example, if another group tried to host a similar event using a confusingly similar name, Random Strangers Jam has the legal right to intervene.

In an industry where one successful event can quickly be copied by another venue or promoter, this legal protection is essential. By securing a trademark, Random Strangers Jam can confidently promote its jam sessions in NYC and scale to additional locations while ensuring our open community values are present anywhere the name is used.

Future Prospects

Trademark registration means Fall 2025 will be Random Strangers Jam's biggest yet with residencies kicking off at Sugar Mouse in Manhattan and Alewife Brewery in Queens in September - making Random Strangers Jam NYC's only multi-borough jam session.

This lays the foundation for RSJ's broader vision of becoming the go-to jam session in cities and towns around the world with events organized and led by local musicians. Finding jam sessions shouldn't be a gatekept secret, they should be open, fun, and inclusive. Email us to partner with Random Strangers Jam and help scale our vision!
