Ringo Starr might be “absolutely crap” at Rock Band, but that isn’t going to stop him from trademarking the crap out of his name, Ringo. Rather, Ringo™.

So no more unofficial Ringo vehicles. Bummer.
“Ringo” actually means “apple” in Japanese. However, this trademark was filed in the U.S.
This, of course, coule be Starr simply applying for a protective patent to prohibit others from making Ringo games. It also could be a sign that the drummer is getting ready to drum out his own title. The drummer’s attorney has yet to comment on why Starr trademarked “Ringo”.
Starr appeared in The Beatles: Rock Band with the other Beatles. “The graphics are great, I love the game and I love the music,” Starr told Jimmy Fallon. “But it’s for young folk.”
Starr, now 70 years old, continues to record, releasing his fifteenth studio album Y Not last year. As for a Ringo video game, sure, why not?
