PWInsider posted:The United States Patent and Trademark Office partially suspended Bruce Tharpe's registration of the National Wrestling Alliance trademark (which was filed for back in March after it expired in December 2016) on 6/4 due to "a likelihood of confusion with a registered mark and under Trademark Act Sections 1 and 45 for failure to show the applied-for mark in use in commerce with any of the specified goods in Class 25. The applicant was also informed that the marks in two pending applications present a potential bar to registration under Section 2(d), if registered. In addition, applicant was required to provide an amended definite identification of goods, provide information relevant to examination under 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b), clarify the mark description, provide clarification regarding the claimed dates of first use, and provide clarification regarding the applicant’s claim of concurrent use."

I don't know what is funnier That no one knows who owns the NWA or that it may have be unclear for years and the NWA was so meaningless that no one noticed

Billy Corgan should just skip all this bullshit and just set a giant pile of money on fire. It would accomplish pretty much the exact same thing as what he's doing now, and it would be a hell of a lot faster.

i've seen tim storm a couple of times at a few Inspire shows, and had no idea he was that old, mostly because I never looked him up or remembered him until I saw this thread. the roid gut is real, though.

Tharpe is both a used cars salesman and a pro wrestling promotor, I don't know why Corgan thought he had an upper hand here. e: Am I remembering wrong or were there used car commercials with Tharpe in them as his side job RealFoxy fucked around with this message at 09:21 on Jun 7, 2017 |

Targeting the company with the 2nd biggest audience makes sense beyond that you have a company whose TV is a function of them being owned by a conservative media company oh and then there's an even worse money pit than TNA that reaches half the households that TNA does

I hope this story has a happy ending and that after all his hard work toward the goal Billy Corgan gets to go bankrupt and lose everything like he's apparently always wanted to
