Gretzky trademarked a lot of slogans. He probably couldn't trademark The Great One because it's too generic as a phrase.

Very embarrassing indeed.

Apologies as I'm unable to link right now - hopefully someone else can - but TSN legal analyst, Eric Macramalla @ericonsportslaw, posted a quick summary on Twitter just now.

Seems it may be for an image and not the phrase?

Eric Macramalla @EricOnSportsLaw
Johnny Hockey: merely filing a trademark application does not confer extensive rights; need to sell stuff with mark on it for that to happen

Eric Macramalla @EricOnSportsLaw
Johnny Hockey (2): he won't get his trademark registration until he has sales of goods (in this case tshirts) in association with the mark

Eric Macramalla @EricOnSportsLaw
Finally this is the mark - they didn't file for word mark JOHNNY HOCKEY - so they will need to show use of this mark


Eric Macramalla @EricOnSportsLaw
Lots made of players filing TM apps (Tebow,Manziel); it doesn't magically exclude mark from general use; has strict commercial purpose

Gaudreau on TMing 'Johnny Hockey': "(My agent) saw some things he didn’t want my name associated with and thought it’d be best to do this."

"It was a little bit of a learning experience for me on the business side of things like that."

Ha. What are the odds it has to do with this thread specifically?

You are right of course. And also, I was a little off - he trademarked "Mrs. Hockey" for her.

Thanks for the link. Especially liked the last sentence:

Quote:
All the money generated by "Beast Mode" goes to Lynch's Fam 1st Family Foundation.
Marshawn is an interesting cat but he does good work in the community. The fact that he makes $6M in base salary this year doesn't hurt either.

Only if you're making money from it.

So if you're a prostitute and your street name is 'Johnny Hockey' then Gaudreau is likely entitled to a cut.

Well, "hockey player" and "working girl" probably aren't in the same categories for the purposes of trademarks, so there might be some leeway there.
