New GLOW Trademark Application Filed But Not By Netflix

Former GLOW wrestler Ursula Hayden recently filed a new trademark application for the term GLOW with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, according to PWInsider. Hayden filed the trademark on September 1st and currently holds the rights as the owner of the video library for the original GLOW promotion.

Making things a bit more interesting is the description for her application includes wording that would give her some legal rights for Netflix’s current GLOW television series.

“Entertainment services, namely, a continuing comedy-drama program broadcast and viewable through cable and broadcast television, video-on-demand services, web-based streaming via communications networks, and through recorded media, featuring a fictionalized account of the historical 1980s women’s professional wrestling circuit and fictional accounts and back stories of participating performers and wrestlers; entertainment services, namely, production and promotion of filmed entertainment featuring women’s professional wrestling; entertainment services in the nature of an ongoing fiction series distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media featuring the behind-the-scenes lives of characters performing in a professional women’s sports and entertainment tour of live and recorded wrestling matches set against the cultural backdrop of the 1980s; providing information regarding the production and distribution of a fictionalized account of historically based professional women’s wrestling as well as information about the genuine historical tour and its later exploits, and films and media featuring the original performers and tour. ”

At the moment, the new trademark filing by Hayden is not expected to cause problems with Netflix’s plans for Season 2 of their GLOW television series which starts taping on October 16th in California.
