It seems like every celebrity wants their own trademark these days. The summer of 2019 was filled with such celebrity trademark news as:
Tom Brady wants people to call him “Tom Terrific.”
LeBron James filed an application to register the trademark “Taco Tuesday”.
Lizzo says she is “100% That Bitch.”
Oh sure, it’s all fun and games until LeBron James takes away your right to send a picture of your food with #TacoTuesday to your friends!
So what the heck is really going on over at the US Patent and Trademark Office anyway?
Hey legaleagles. Today we’re talking about celebrity trademarks
********The USPTO acted on Lebron’s trademark and denied it. Called it!

so what I'm getting from this is I could trademark "thanks I hate it" despite the fact that I did not invent it
Invent, shminvent.
How is there only one other reply to this? Also, why are you like the fourth comment down? 😅
I think it's even an industry in the USA. Taking trademarks (or patents?) And sue people who are surely casually using those stuff
@@radschele1815 Patents, yes. Trademarks, no. To get the trademark, you'd have to prove you were using it in commerce. DJ in the video you're commenting on goes over the fact that Tom Brady can't register trademarks on nicknames just to sue people.
Lindsay could possibly trademark "thanks I hate it" in terms of using it on clothing and other merchandise, but it would be difficult given the popularity of the term on places like the r/TIHI subreddit
You can trademark it, but you cannot stop people from simply using it in everyday speech.
1) Trademark protection only applies in *commerce* , and there only to identify goods and services. If someone else uses the phrase on an internet forum, you coud *try* to sue them for trademasrk infrongement but you would lose the case hook, line and sinker, because that other person wasn't offering any goods and services. Basically, trademarks are only relevant in professional competition between individuals or businesses. As long as you're not acting in a professional capacity, you should have nothing to fear. Companies with enough malicious intent might *try* to come after you, but they're unlikely to win. So basically, you can only realistically sue someone for trademark infringement if that person is a direct competitor.
B) Trademark protection is specific to the field of use you want to use it for. So, for example, if you sell clothes that say "Thanks I hate it", you can trademark that (as long as no-one else already has that trademarked) and sue other people selling clothes under that name, but unless you're a *very* famous brand that is known way beyond its specific field of business (or is already doing business in multiple fields), you cannot go after people selling a board game or snacks under that name, because they're very different fields. Don't think of trademarks as monopolies; think of them as unique selling points in specific niches.
C) Trademarks need to be used consistently if you want to keep them. Use them or lose them. If you just trademark something and then sit on that trademark for years without ever doing anything with it, your lack of use makes it available for grabs again.
D) Trademarks must not be descriptive. If it just describes the thing, you cannot trademark it. if it describes *something else* that has no direct connection to the goods or services you want to use it for, it can be used as a trademark. An "apple" is a fruit; calling that fruit "Apple" and then claiming that name as a trademark won't hold up in court. On the other hand, "Apple" is *not* descriptive for computers or music, thus it's possible to name a computer company "Apple Computers", or a record label "Apple Music".
Imagine trademarking the word "react" in the context of RUclips videos.
A silly person, that’s who.
imaging or imagining?
RedScaledKnight1 neither you grammar nazi... it’d be “imagine”
@RedScaledKnight1 Thanks

"It's Tuesday somewhere!"
Ummm, days of the week don't work like time zones LeBron.
It does work if it's Monday in the Americas or Wednesday in the far East.
Well - from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint of spacetime...
That's the joke
Jimmy Buffett is also know for trademarking everything and suing people. Surprised he isn't going after Lebron.
Yeah, that's only two days of the week world wide. It's Saturday where I am but Sunday in China.
LegalEagle just took a DNA test, turns out he's 100% cereal bowl
You're a cereal bowl. Super cereal.
Which one? The cereal company or the clothing line?
Okay boomer
He’s actually 102% cereal bowl. With a 2% margin of error.
Or dr pepper
LegalEagle uses Dr.Pepper instead of milk with cereal, confirmed.

He's probably from Texas. We are quite jingoistic.
Objection: Dude what ultimately happened with the Apple Records / Apple computers lawsuits? You can't give us foreplay like that with no climax...
Per en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Corps_v_Apple_Computer
On 5 February 2007, Apple Inc. and Apple Corps announced a settlement of their trademark dispute under which Apple Inc. will own all of the trademarks related to "Apple" and will license certain of those trademarks back to Apple Corps for their continued use. The settlement ends the ongoing trademark lawsuit between the companies, with each party bearing its own legal costs, and Apple Inc. will continue using its name and logos on iTunes. The settlement includes terms that are confidential, although newspaper accounts at the time stated that Apple Computer was buying out Apple Corps' trademark rights for a total of $500 million.
@@Sankis Tim Apple must be thrilled.
Well since they use iTunes and not apple music, their use it or lose it mantra will contradict the preventing of confusion
If he ever brings up a civil suit and doesn't mention the outcome, it is always "out of court settlement"
@@joedd215 That's factually wrong. Apple Music is a subscription service that started a few years ago.
Even if it didn't exist, it's not "Apple Music" that would be trademarked, but rather just "Apple", in relation to music. Apple + [just about any name] would be covered by the trademark.
Every time I watch this guy I’m thinking “If Ryan Reynolds went to law school....”

@@ihatecrackhead yes, because I'm sure you know _so_ much more about the law than a practicing trial lawyer who graduated with honors from one of the top law schools in the country and who passed the bar in 3 states and D.C. 🙄

Supermacs are the best
SourceOfBeing EU law is stupid. As are the Europeans LOL
Objection! Failure to discuss Ohio State University’s failed attempt to trademark the word “The”.
That’s stupidest thing ever. Can you imagine difficulties students would have if they couldn’t say word “The?”
That needs to be a video itself
@@SorryBones Granted, it's stupid, but THE (tm pending/denied/reapplied? who knows) trademark is only for the use of THE (tm) on clothing (T-shirts, baseball caps and hats)
@@SorryBones did you not even watch the video? Having a trademark doesn't prevent people from being able to say the word or let the holder of the trademark sue anyone who uses the word or phrase in any context.
ethan fields Did you even read comment? Sometimes joke must make a sacrifice to get audience to laugh. That’s long and short of it.
What if he actually does get the trademark for "#tacotuesday"
Would using "#tacotuesdaylebronsucks" be sufficient to alleviate any potential confusion?
PayPal wasn't able to sieze the domain PayPalSucks(dot)com. The argument would be similar
This just in.. LegalEagle has trademarked any suit made by IndoChino.
Any IndoChino products must now come with a mandatory voiceclip of "IndoChinoooo"

@@cryptikkcries I disagree. I look like neither a dignified lawyer nor a pubescent sack of root vegetables.
If you don't like a nickname perhaps best to not draw attention to it.
Maybe Barbara Streisand should trademark "Streisand effect." ;)
Or just defer to the baseball player when someone brings it up.
Fine Bros "REACT" -- talk about a crash and burn.
Pepsi and coke are going to sue you for defamation and Dr. Pepper is going to hire your defense.
Pepsi owns dr pepper now.
No they don't, Keurig owns Dr.Pepper(atleast in the US). Pepsi and Coke just have bottling rights. I assume you're Canadian or Australian because those divisions Pepsi owns
Doctor pepper is nasty
@@anangrycucco You are objectively incorrect
@ Dr. Pepper owns itself under the Dr. Pepper 7Up company. Which is why Coke makes Mr. Pibb and Pibb Xtra. It's also why Sprite and Sierra Mist exist. If Pepsi ever owned Dr. Pepper, which they don't, they would never create their own drink to compete against 7Up.
"Are children goods? No, they are not."
That's what you think
Objection!
Google comes from googol, meaning 10^100 or a 1 with 100 zeros after it.
I was looking for this comment. Glad someone else noticed!
Further substantiation: 10^googol is called googolplex. Google's googleplex was clearly named after this.
I'm glad someone else brought this up. Thank you.
I am curious... does a made up work based on an mathematics term no one uses gain the same definition? Also because the word sound similar to the same word does that make it the same? For instance their, there, and they're all have different uses and sometimes meanings, but are all said as though they are the same. Another example which or witch. I dont see how googol and google are even remotely the same. So this point seem moot at best
@@kevingoskowsky5587 Google referenced this number on purpose:
"Eventually, they changed the name to Google; the name of the search engine originated from a misspelling of the word "googol", the number 1 followed by 100 zeros, which was picked to signify that the search engine was intended to provide large quantities of information."
Furthermore, mathematical terms are very extensively used, even if mostly in mathematics and science.
Numbers are real things, their names are clearly definitions, regardless of whether their use is widespread among people who would have no use for the number 10^100 in their everyday lives.
I've never bought RUclips merch, but I'd consider some Cereal Bowl™ merch
Jimmy Danly coming soon from indochino 🤣
Was just thinking the same thing haha
Bowling shoes
how did you add the little tm to the end of cereal bowl?
Objection, Google, is a mispelling of Googol, 1.0 × 10^100.
Came here to say just that
thus making it completely made up and making it mean nothing else...
@Oh Hai so what was the point? He listed it as an objection, however LegalEagle was 100% correct. The word "Google" has never held any other meaning than the name of their company and search engine.
Objection objection I think it was a shortening googolplex or 10 googol
Would love to see if intentional misspelling is a way to get around copyright law
“Taco John’s is a small western franchise”

I love how the most controversial opinion I have ever seen come out of your mouth is the hierarchy of different sodas 🤣 especially considering some of the stuff you cover
He’s not wrong. But Dr Pepper 10 is the best diet soda.
I was agreeing with him when he said Pepsi is inferior, but when he said Dr. Pepper's the best of all I transcended, for never before now had I met someone with the same opinion as I about sodas.
James, explain what you mean. I’m not tracking.
@@dr.floridamanphd James is saying you deserve punitive action for your opinions of the superior fizzy sugar water.
Saying that there is controversy about Dr Pepper being the best soda is like saying that there is controversy about man-made global warming; there may be a vocal minority, but there is an overwhelming scientific consensus, and it is understood by anyone with half a brain.
"They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arc"
Eric David i was just thinking about McDowells, fun fact, a manager at a neighbouring McDonalds called corporate to have a cease and desist letter sent, before the producers stepped in.
Was just talking about this with some coworkers the other day ironically enough
So if i make a soda and call it "Pepper Phd"..will Dr Pepper have a case? lol
Since PhD is a Doctorate degree, albiet in Philosophy, and holders of a PhD are commonly called Doctor when they are introduced or refer to themselves as such, that would probably get you sued since Dr. Pepper never outlined what type of Doctor it is. The same would go for Pepper MD, AuD, DA, DBA, DC, DD, Ded, DLS, DMA, DPA, DPH, DSc, ScD, SScD,DSM, EdD, JD, LHD, LLD, OD, DVM, and ThD.
I'm definitely no expert in law but I find your stuff highly informative and very fascinating
Objection! While Google Fiber is an internet service provider (ISP), Google is not accurately described as an internet service provider. While you probably mean a provider of internet services, "internet service provider" or ISP is a very specific entity with very specific meaning. Ah! A legal eagle episode on internet net neutrality laws, tier 1 and 2 isps, etc, would be very interesting! It would likely require a collaboration with an engineer or technical person.
Given you were talking about Net Neutrality, I assume you mean Title I and II service providers?
I'm a technical person, maybe I can help? Full disclosure, I'm a technical person only in the sense that I'm technically a person, but hey, you were ambiguous
Also... um... who OWNS Google Fiber? For nonliteral layspeech purposes, you could probably be considered reasonable if you just loop them together and call them an ISP, seeing as how they run one... so who could this mysterious entity be, this company who owns Google Fiber? What might their name be? 🤔 (thank you, eerily smart autosuggest, for suggesting the exact emoji my sarcasm required)
Ohio State University was recently denied its claim to trademark, "The"

Local lawyer still common man, Wants cereal and Dr. Pepper
Can you blame him though?
around 2:55 you say Adidas sued for copyright infringement. Did you mean trademark infringement? I think clothing has a particularly hard time getting copyright protection in the US.
he's clearly talking about trademark there, and if you need confirmation, google provides extensive coverage of the trademark dispute between adidas and forever 21.
Make sure its in the form of an Objection
Clothing is usually not copyrightable.
Practical elements of clothing aren't copyrightable, and individual design elements (pleats, for example) aren't, but some aspects of clothing design are. "Three stripes" does not seem to be enough to warrant copyright protection though.
"Google doesn't mean anything."
*sad googol noises*
Hey LegalEagle,
I'd like to request a video on Billy Mitchell. He's most known for setting the first perfect Pacman score, and was in a documentary called the King of Kong (Donkey Kong). He was outted as a cheater last year, and has now come back threatening lawsuits against Guiness World Records and the youtuber Apollo Legend who spearheaded the campaign to remove his scores from Twin Galaxy. The best resource to do research on the situation would be from Apollo Legends videos. What legal options does he have, and does he open himself up to any legal reprocussions if he moves forward with a case?
Billy Mitchell is such a tool.
Actually he's way worse words than that. >__>
ask a lawyer who is less wrong and would know more
LegalEagle, can you do a in-depth analysis on The Amanda Show court cases?

Hey LegalEagle. You should do a video on A Civil Action (the film about Anderson v. Cryovac). Great film with different points to discuss such as legal ethics (communicating a settlement offer to your client, forgetting a client exists), and more complex topics such as splitting a trial to address separate, but consecutive issues, and a brief intro to toxic torts.
OBJECTION: You should have called it Serial Bowl.
Why not superb bowl

If I made a cereal bowl company called Serial Bowl, could I get Matthew Lillard to endorse it using his Cereal Killer character from Hackers?

What made the Brady situation even worse: the REAL "Tom Terrific" had just announced he was dealing with dementia.
Please react to the 2007 Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling film ‘Fracture.' The hero of the story is a lawyer who uses his legal knowledge to save the day, if that entices you.
Same thing for the villain
I always thought the hero of that movie was the old man who used his knowledge to evict his cheating wife from his house. He would have gotten away with it too...if Ryan Gosling was more concerned about moving into private practice.

Real cultures of the world should not be trademarkable or copyrightable.
In fact certain indigenous groups are even demanding royalties for the use of their symbols.
Some even going as far as to ask the UN to bar non indigenous people from practicing indigenous medicines and farming techniques...
Pretty sure she wouldn't get it anyway, while it's not a brand it's used for clothing already, so there's obvious confusion there. If she wanted to make kimono computers, that wouldn't be an issue

Curious as to your thoughts regarding "The" Ohio State University trademark attempt.
I was going to ask this as well.
I have bought a number of OSU shirts that simply have “THE” on them in scarlet and grey. So they meet the qualification of the marketplace. Beyond that it might be an uphill battle for the Bucks.
A video by THE Legal Eagle on the matter would be great.
yeah, I was surprised he didn't bring this up too.
1:02 thank you Coca-Cola for keeping Legal Eagle on the air
First of let me thank you for making these videos, the're both informative and entertaining!(that being said it puzzels me why a real laywer would take time out his already bussy live to make you tube video's). Secondly, i myself like many others here, will never become a laywer. So i was wondering if you would consider making a video about how to behave/think when you're part of the jury/defendend/ or attacker.
I wish you all the luck with your channel and im certain that it will keep growing, and once again thank you for all the love and attention you put into them!
Very interesting, thank you for sharing!

Hi! I have been binge watching your videos. Have you considered doing one about the ghostbusters trial in ghostbusters 2? It might be a short video but I think given we are close to Halloween it could be fitting or maybe when the next movie comes out next year. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

@@flamevortex --Yeah, true. But It is HIGHLY unlikely mathematicians using "googol" will confuse it with a web search engine, and Joe Sixpack has forgotten his 6th grade math so won't even know of the word "googol", which isn't used in any commercial fashion.

Could you review The Devil's Advocate? It's a bit of a mix between actual court, research and potential stress.
Fun Fact: you mentioned the Adidas issue, a weird exception is that clothing doesn't typically have a copyright (in principle, with many caveats) but it can be trademarked. So you can theoretically make an exact copy of a $12000 Versace dress and sell if for $100 as long as you don't represent it as a Versace (so the label has to be clearly different). But otherwise you can make it the same color, so if the Versace were a distinct midnight blue with neon green flowers you could copy this as long as that pattern wasn't closely identified with Versace itself (IIRC). This is why 'labels' are so important in fashion. With the Adidas one the pattern was distinct and could trick people, like putting a little alligator on the breast of a shirt. I think you can still patent though but I'm not sure. Of course I'm talking about the theory of the law, in practice I'm sure its quite different. But I'm not a lawyer and this most CERTAINLY isn't legal (or business) advice, just a discussion of the concept behind the laws. As far as I'm aware this little odd exception only exists in clothing, for example the picture you drew to make the dress would still have a copyright.
Additional Fun Fact: 'Google' isn't a made up word, its actually a ridiculously large number, they just spelled it differently (googol). I'm not saying LE is wrong, by misspelling it I suppose it is now a made-up word so he's technically correct and as he's a lawyer that's the best kind of correct ;). Their headquarters is called the Googleplex, while a googolplex is an even more ridiculously large number (I mean crazy big). And Google's parent company is called 'Alphabet'.
I havent thought of Taco Johns in years, I was stationed in Fort Hood at the time, there was one on base back in '11. They have great mini hashbrowns, though they are a bit on the salty side.
When are you going to react to Matlock? I await eagerly.
Question: I have been calling myself tracer since the early 00's as my online persona. Can I go after overwatch for jaking my name?
I really enjoy your videos
I love your soda tastes homie, wish I could subscribe twice now🥺

Could LeBron trademark "Tooooooosday," or some other spelling that indicates that it takes ten seconds to say?
Lol I was eating some cereal while I was watching this video, and I usually only do this on weekends. What a fun coincidence.
Nissan computer vs nissan cars was the first thing I thought of when you started talking about narrow scopes.
