Creator of Je suis Charlie slogan applies for patent
Joachim Roncin, the creator of the "Je suis Charlie" slogan, which became a symbol of support for Charlie Hebdo, has applied for a patent, saying that he wants to prevent the commercial exploitation of the design and keep its original message intact korrespondent.net reports citing BBC. "To be honest, I am saddened by all those people who just want to cash in on the slogan. It devalues the whole meaning of the slogan,” he said. "Je suis Charlie" is a slogan adopted by supporters of free speech and freedom of expression after the 7 January 2015 massacre in which 12 people were killed at the offices of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris, France.
