Ms. Rachel is working with a fellow child content creator to figure out trademark issues over 'Herbie' -- her puppet sidekick -- which will ultimately allow them both to use the name in their work, TMZ has learned.
TMZ obtained docs filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office showing Ms. Rachel's company, Songs For Little LLC, filed a petition over creator Sherrika Myers' trademark for Herbie.

Sherrika created Lil Herbie, a children's character that is the focus of books she wrote.
In her petition, Ms. Rachel claims she has 20 million YouTube subscribers for her show featuring her trusty sidekick Herbie, who is described as "a lovable orange puppet character."

Ms. Rachel tells TMZ, "I think what Sherrika Myers has created is amazing and there is absolutely no dispute."
"Our lawyers were communicating about how to have both trademarks coexist, though I wasn’t even aware of this," she said. "I think everyone knows from who I am that I would never try to stop a wonderful program like Lil Herbie. I have been in touch since I heard about this situation, and we are planning to work together in some way.”
