New Trademarks & Keith Lee Trademark Issues

Chris Jericho and Andrade El Idolo recently filed new trademarks to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

A trademark for “The Rock of Jericho” was filed on June 18th by Jericho for music and entertainment-related purposes.

A trademark for “Andrade el Idolo” was filed on June 17th by Andrade for wrestling and entertainment-related purposes.

Keith Lee’s trademark filing for his current ring name reportedly recently ran into legal issues, according to HeelByNature.com. It was reported that the USPTO sent a letter to Lee’s lawyer on June 21st stating that his filing was revealed to be in conflict with an earlier filing for “Keith Lee” by WWE. It was also reported that Lee’s filing status will not be resolved until WWE’s own legal issues regarding their trademark filing are resolved first.
