The funny thing is that the realtor is probably in for an expensive legal bill for his troubles. Trademarks require you to actually use them, so unless this guy is going to start selling merchandise for his made up teams, he's going to get run over in court.

You can file a federal trademark application on an “Intent to Use” basis. You don’t have to actually use it until six months (with one possibly extension) after the USPTO says “sure, that trademark is fine, go nuts”.

...so the realtor is probably only out a few grand right now in filing fees.

The question is basically how much is Synder willing to pay to get his preferred name a few months early. If the realtor's pitching for $20 grand, he's probably going to make a modest chunk of money for an hours work. If he's after a million, he's going to discover the fun of being trampled by the legal system and lose his shirt.

PTO is right up the street from this guy too, I imagine he had no shortage of people around him knowledgeable about this sort of thing

I absolutely knew Snyder et al were too overconfident and incompetent to engage in any sort of change management around the need for a new name.

This is a person so stingy that he sold expired peanuts and year-old beer to his fans.

It's going to be a long legal showdown no matter how much the realtor is asking for.

So here's what's going on. Dunbar hired a new attorney. That's what the stipulation for substitution of counsel is all about. That's a procedural thing that has to happen when switching attorneys.

The latter half is a discovery request. That's pretty standard as the prosecution is obligated to provide everything they have including exculpatory information.

I suppose I should have specified that my "is that bad" was for comedic effect, since it does in fact seem bad that the guy's lawyer was allegedly involved in the bribing of witnesses

IAAL but I suppose the way I phrased that would not indicate as such

If Snyder is smart (lol) it's just a calculation of how much you think you'll spend on lawyers to work it through the courts. Once you know that number, you offer the guy like 50% of that and see if he bites.

Based on the sketches it looks like there are supposed to be two layers with holes offset? Still seems about as effective as a sign saying "COVID keep out"

In the July 4 interview, Rivera said he and Snyder had come up with two names that Rivera really liked. He did not reveal the names, but said he wanted to confer with Native American and military organizations to make sure that the new name properly honored both.

For Fedex you could do the Washington Arrows and do that arrow logo they had a while ago!

But knowing that organization they'll just slap a FEDEX sticker on the side of each helmet and then just circle the FedEx arrow in sharpie.
