After more than a year, twice NFL MVP Lamor jackson According to the records of the US Patent and Trademark office, the trademark Aikman has withdrawn its challenge for the use of the Football Hall of Fame Quarterback Troy Acman of the No. 8 of the No. 8.
Jackson’s Attorney, Andrea Evans filed a proposal to withdraw the opposition with a bias with the consent of Ekman’s team earlier this week. The claims of the opposition were rejected by the appeal board of the patent and trademark office on Tuesday.
Josh Gerben, a trademark lawyer at Gerben Law, said, “Lamor is withdrawing saying that it is with prejudice.” “Meaning I can never file it again, and I don’t even have the consent of the defendant.”
This would allow FL101, the company filed a trademark request and listed Aikman as one of its directors in SEC filing, to use the implemented marks for it.
Akman’s lawyers wrote to ESPN in an email statement, “Mr. Jackson’s return was voluntarily made by Mr. Jackson in view of some TTAB decisions, who have gone against him.” “In my view, this is” with “bias withdrawal” an acceptance that Mr. Jackson’s claims were an overlapping and should never be brought to the first place. “
The messages left by ESPN with lawyers for Jackson were not immediately refunded.
Gerbeen said it is not clear whether an agreement was signed by Aikman and Jackson’s teams, “But we will not really know that, however, we will not have any information here that we can tell us.”
Jackson initially challenged the use of the word “eight” of Akman, including a variety of objects – apparel, beer, beach towels, bags and energy drinks – in July 2024. Jackson traded various uses around the first number, including Lamor Jackson “Era 8,” Era 8 “and” You 8 “? “He claimed in the filing that the use of” eight “would create confusion for the public when people went to buy products.
Many high-profile athletes are wearing number 8, including Jackson, Akman, Hall of Fam Football player Steve Young, Baseball Hall of Fame Cal Ripcan Jr. and Basketball Hall of Famer Cobe Bryant.
Jackson’s Attorney had opposed several trademarks since November 2023, including several parties, Aikman and Dale Arnhard Jr.
Soon after Jackson’s protest in April, Arnhard’s company pulled its trademark application. And now, Jackson has pulled out his opposition for the use of Aikman’s proposed trademark.
