General Motors has filed an application to register the term “Badlands” as a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), GM Authority has discovered.

The automaker’s February 16th, 2015 filing carries serial number 86535743 and specifies that the mark will be used for “Motor land vehicles, namely, trucks”.

The GM Authority Take
