Warner Bros. filed a trademark for Big Chungus with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) on August 26, 2022.

The filing requests a trademark for Big Chungus across almost every conceivable medium, including audiovisual media, clothing

Big Chungus has existed since December 20, 1941, but didn't surface in meme form until 77 years later, in 2018
