According to tweets from licenced trademark attorney Mike Kondoudis, Paramount Pictures filed two trademark applications on September 7 for the teen comedy from the early 2000s that stars Lindsay Lohan, who used to be in Disney movies.

Mean Girls is a teen comedy movie from 2004 that has since gained a large cult following and inspired many memes and reaction GIFs made by fans. It’s one of the most-quoted movies of all time, and on Oct. 3, there’s even a national Mean Girls Day.
