Taylor Swift was seeking to trademark phrases including “this sick beat” and “we never go out of style”, in the United States.

Rod McKuen, whose music, verse and spoken-word recordings in the 1960s and ’70s won him an Oscar nomination and made him one of the best-selling poets in history, passed away at the age of 81.
