Wow they need to hire a new marketing team lol. Out of all the names they chose this lol. Its pathetic.
They’re serious lol
For clarity purposes, the reason the Washington Football Team is proceeding in this manner has more to do with marketing analysis and the legal process than showing some kind of incompetence.
Deciding on a name that works socially, economically and legally, is not a short process. Once their attorneys file the trademark application(s), it may take 4-6 months for each application to be reviewed by an attorney at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). That was prior to COVID 19 and the altered work arrangements we have all gone through. While under review, USPTO attorneys will check to ensure the TM application doesn't have mistakes and the mark doesn't conflict or possibly lead to confusion in commerce with another mark. So that can lead to the process taking even longer.
This isn't a short process at all. I have filed many, many in my legal career.
Better stock up on all that marked down gear then.
AMEN.Dumb. Thank you corporate America for threatening the masses with your deep pockets to force change that wasn't necessary.
If Snyder had any balls he would have just changed sponsorship from FedEx field to something else, kept the 'Commanders' name, and told FedEx to go (F word that rhymes with truck) themselves.
I'm not sure a name can be trademarked, to force someone to pay to use it.
or Apaches.Just change it to Washington Warriors, keep the logo and tell anyone who doesn't like it to get bent.
