Archewell Audio reportedly abandoned their bid to gain the name rights to Archetypes that the couple previously asked the US Patent and Trademark Office to grant this year, according to The Sun.

In their original request, the couple asked for exclusive usage rights to the Archetypes name for "downloadable audio recordings and podcasts" on anything concerning the "cultural treatment of women and stereotypes facing women". After the rejection, the couple's lawyers asked for additional three months in order to prepare another application. But now the long-winded journey has come to an end as the Sussexes representatives have filed an "express abandonment" for the application. The decision to reportedly let her podcast go comes as the famous pair were dropped from their Spotify deal in June after just one series of the podcast. Harry and Meghan signed the lucrative deal to host and produce podcasts in late 2020. This year the news of the deal's end was confirmed in a joint statement from Archwell and Spotify that read: 'Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together.' The Duchess of Sussex was the host of the podcast that ran for 12 episodes last year. In the award-winning series, Meghan sat down for interview){kind=link}
