1. I just copyrighted the term "pearls clutched". Pay me.
2. 3 peat was a newly coined term so he could copyright it. Taco Tuesday is nowhere near a new term as it's been in use for decades. Completely different situations.

Not going to argue about this. He wasn't convicted of rape.
Taco Johns got the first federal trademark for it but another company received a state trademark first so Taco Johns can't use it in New Jersey. I assume they came out with some mutual understanding like Burger King and Burger King
I get trying to make your money and all but... fuck off. This is like Trump trying to trademark "you're fired". This has been around since I was a kid.
Important: It's not for restaurant services
Ok everyone I actually checked the trademark he might actually get it because the classifications are so random like podcasting and social media blogging. Trademarks only protect confusingly similar names so using the name in such a random business area may allow him to acquire it for that area

They have to "consider" it if he files the paperwork.
But once it enters the dispute phase, all the Taco joints who've ever used it in advertising file a dispute, and the request is shelved. Wasting however much money was spent on filing the paperwork, which was probably done by lawyers and therefore has hourly rates on top of the filing fee.
Hello everyone.
Just want you to know I've filed for trademark of the name "LeBron."
Please see my user agreement and licensing terms if you'd like to continue posting my trademarked phrase "LeBron™". Also be aware that I'll soon by filing for trademark on the terms "underwhelming flopper" and "LeClown."

I think that poster meant in the sense of someone not from that culture profiting off of it
Lebron sending an army of lawyers to every school cafeteria. Ready to sue. If the word Taco is not at least 5 words separated away from Tuesday, he suing.
Didn't he also threaten to sue Nick Saban and the University of Alabama for doing their own Barber Shop style show?
That's now how descriptiveness works.
Which would be descriptive. So it's a bad idea.
Oooooo he got a first rejection from the trademark office. Like damn that was quick, usually takes 3 months. They said it was too common of a phrase and that people are confusingly similar marks already in some of the classifications he filed in. They have 6 months to respond with their argument.
The examiners response is so broad in its language and pretty much suggests to remove all trademarks associated with Taco Tuesday because nobody really associates the name with some specific brand

Sure... Saving face now. The great one gets told no for once and now he's trying to act like getting rejected was the goal all along. Hahahaha
Lol so funny. Well if he's serious about bringing back the name to the people they should actually challenge the mark to the Trademark Trials and Appeals Board
lol, Shaq in those days had more marketing than any modern athlete.
Not that rigorously I hear tacotime use it in ads on posters everywhere.
Which also means LeBron would have a very hard time trademark this which has been in fair use for decades . Any taco joint could establish they used this for years and he didn't even come close to inventing or using it .
