Publishing giant ZeniMax Media has filed six different trademark applications for popular Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim dragon shout, "Fus Ro Dah".

"Fus Ro Dah" is a dragon shout in Skyrim that allows players to summon a powerful force that pushes away enemies; but it became wildly popular after a user on YouTube uploaded a video that showed the character dragon shout sending a powerful shockwave that knocked an oversized person off of a table.  From there, the words exploded into a popular meme and there now exists dozens of YouTube videos playing on the shout.

Now, it appears that ZeniMax is attempting to protect its intellectual property as it has submitted six separate trademark applications for "Fus Ro Dah" with the United States Patent and Trademark Office that cover a wide range of goods and services.  One of the applications covers clothing, namely T-shirts, shirts, sweatshirts, etc.

Below is a brief look at each of the trademark applications submitted on April 4, 2012 (via):
