The “devil-horns” hand gesture
The “devil-horns” hand gesture is a universal symbol of rock ‘n’ roll music. But in 2017, Kiss frontman Gene Simmons decided he wanted the iconic gesture all to himself. In the least rock ‘n’ roll move of all time, he filed an application with the USPTO in 2017, claiming he first popularized the symbol during the band’s tour in 1974.
Only two weeks after filing, and after much criticism, Forbes reported that Simmons had abandoned his claim.
