Interesting. I wouldn’t think the NFL would have much chance of stopping a “Super Cup,” absent other factors that might lead to confusion with the Super Bowl.

(Sorry for gravedigging the post; I find this fascinating.)
Yeah, so the descriptive portion of a protected mark can be the basis for an infringement claim, if copied in a similar context. It has to be a pretty famous mark though. At least that was the law last time I had an infringement case.

Obviously you can’t take descriptive words out of circulation. Like, “super cat clumping litter” is never going to infringe Super Bowl. But if the good or service is so similar as to create consumer confusion, there may be infringement. Holiday Motel is a closer case than Holiday Cruises (for infringement of holiday inn).

I think Jay Feely gave us more of a window into NFL locker room culture than the Shield would have liked.

Martin "probably took something at halftime" to help him punt

Good bet he's ingested enough opioids to bring down a wildebeest

I enjoy Lilly from AT&T on a plane talking about advertising one thing then charging another, because cell phone companies never do that.

Probably took a shot directly into that leg

They literally picked Allen up like they were moving a sofa and pushed him for the first.

After all the Super Wild Card Weekend stuff they really need a better name for next week.
