Banksy didn't sign his works. 3anKSY (only near fakes) supposed to mean I guess.. (attention) this be an art and it's worthy - it is not Banksy trademark - but the opposite - a silly joke attempting to use 'banksy' as a new adjective - or a tribute to him in best case. (Fakes were convenient, helping to hide his identity - but it's his final word what was his work, what not.)
Banksy original works do have style. Fakes are random attempts to look similar, to get attention - lacking sense of humor, context and meannig (as that one on article photo).
No mark nor label can make any banksy banksing thing be the Banksy's (first order) work (having something to say).

- thro1 2y agoedit: .. work (having context, style and some point - when fakes had none of it). For me that's fine anything banksy has a label reminding about it - and Banksy original works just don't need neither used any (and that's a mark). Good luck with trademarks !
- thro1 2y ago- in that, his specific case, any attempt to make a trademark from his name - for (someones) (street) (to be) 'art' mean: it's fake ( .. "to sell their fake Banksy merchandise legally" .. "attempting to take custody of [his] name" .. beeing not his case ?! )
