Facebook user Laticia Munn reports picking up a 6-piece order of the new Chicken Nuggets at her local Sonic in Jonesboro for $4.36. There’s also a 12-piece option available.

What’s interesting is the fact that on September 20, 2016 Sonic applied for a trademark/wordmark on ‘Carving Block.’ Two months later, on November 18, the USTPO sent a non-final office action to the applicant. In short, the application was initially refused (probably related to a simple technical issue), but can end up moving toward registration with a response from the applicant. Sonic has to respond to the non-final office action within six months of the date issued, otherwise the trademark application will be considered abandoned.

“Carving Block” Trademark

According to trademark application details, Sonic plans to associate the ‘Carving Block’ branding with specific menu items, including chicken nuggets, chicken sandwiches and chicken strips.

Sonic applied to register the mark CARVING BLOCK for use on “Chicken products for consumption on or off the premises, namely, chicken nuggets, chicken sandwiches and chicken strips” in International Class 29.

Sonic’s current national chicken offerings include chicken sandwiches, Boneless Wings, Jumbo Popcorn Chicken and Super Crunch Chicken Strips. Oddly enough, Sonic has never really offered a national menu item branded as a chicken nugget. That appears to be about to change.
