Fursona Pins protects the word fursona from being trademarked by non-furry company
On July 18th, 2026 a rejection by the United States Patent and Trademark Office was making its rounds on social media. In it, the office states that the individual could not trademark the word Fursona in relation to their company, with the primary reason being that it was too similar of a trademark to one already created for the company of “Fursona Pins”. The applicant has been trying to register this since November, 13th of 2025.
A shared document of this rejection was clearly not the first rejection to registration, but in response to counter arguments made by the applicant to a previous rejection. The three primary arguments were made by the person trying to register Fursona as a trademark for their business:
- They are not trying to register Fursona Pins, just Fursonas.
- They are trying to make a robe company not a pin company
- The word is not related to the commons word of “fursona” used by the furry fandom
The USPTO’s response counters each of these arguments and their viability, and in the end sustains its prior rejection of the trademark request.

Furry Migration Cancels Fursuit Parade
After a great deal of discussion and planning, we’ve made the difficult decision not to schedule a Fursuit Parade for Furry Migration 2026.
We know the parade has become a favorite tradition for many attendees, so this wasn’t a decision we made lightly.
Our home at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis has been an incredible venue for Furry Migration, but its layout presents some unique challenges when it comes to designing a parade route. These challenges get tougher as we grow. We explored a number of possibilities for a route, but each option either became overly complicated to operate, significantly impacted other convention activities, required extensive planning with the city, or began approaching occupancy and fire safety concerns that we aren’t comfortable compromising on.
The safety of our attendees, volunteers, and hotel staff will always come first, even when it means making a disappointing decision.
The good news is that this isn’t the end of the fun for the weekend. Rather than forcing a parade that we don’t feel can be executed to the standard we expect, we’re putting our energy into planning an alternative event that we hope will give everyone another memorable opportunity to show off their suits and celebrate our community.
We’re still working through the details, and we’ll share more information as soon as everything is finalized, if the alternative arrangements work out.
We appreciate everyone’s understanding and support as we continue working to prepare for Furry Migration 2026. We can’t wait to see you all for “Be Kind; Rewind” this September.

EDitor’s Note
It’s hard sometimes to figure what drives a con to do something like this. But even comments by no less than Alkali more or less it could be an insurance issue.
It will be interesting to see if the Furwalks continue
