VegasBound Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 HOUSTON...errrr Vegas we have a problem! GOLDEN KNIGHTS THE COLLEGE OF SAINT ROSE ...our new fav school! gogoldenknights.com http://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn87147239&docId=OOA20161207114432#docIndex=0&page=1 Scroll the document, enjoy the read. Trademark on track to be rejected unless someone pays a certain school a ton of money, I say $50 million is fair. On a side note both Desert and Silver are pretty much 100% good to go as long as they don't stylize the word Knight(s) like one school they already got the go ahead from any ways. Ironically Foley cant stop copying/infringing, they (Vegas team) bought GoldenKNights.tv this week, guess who owns GoGoldenKnights.tv? You guessed it our new fav school GOLDEN KNIGHTS THE COLLEGE OF SAINT ROSE! This whole thing is :facepalm: for Foley, NHL and anyone who calls themselves their attorney.

Cosmic Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 1 hour ago, VegasBound said: Trademark on track to be rejected I think it's premature to say that... the USPTO can simply tell Saint Rose, "You're wrong. This won't get confused with your marks." the NHL still has a chance to respond, and the USPTO may rule in their favor. Edit: I thought this was a complaint letter from Saint Rose, not generated by the patent office like it appears to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I like "goldenknights.tv" as a domain-name end-run for a team whose RSN coverage will reach slightly more people than the Winnipeg Jets do. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasBound Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Not true and especially not since the USPTO made a point to include this.... which btw is a huge HELLO to Army. "similar use not needed to cause confusion" goes on to site a case etc. Basically he used the same name, for sports, similar logo, uses similar twitter and domains with the addition or subtraction of the word "go". Tell me how they missed asking this school too, so he misses Army and this school, why? Oh ya guy thinks he can sneak by an obvious NO. Let me see Schools twitter @gogoldenknights.com Vegas uses @GoldenKnights Schools .tv domain is gogoldenknights.tv Vegas will use goldenKnights.tv What's next, who is their Mascot Foley needs an idea LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp49 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Who did the NHL/Foley hire to do their trademark law Lionel Hutz? On second thought Hutz would have done a better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasBound Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Better call Saul On a side note I assume he will respond, he has 6 months to fight the finding. However if he fails O M G what would that be like months/weeks before season opener next year. Id say he has to be contemplating Desert Knights now.

BBTV Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I forget who said it, but the LVGKs are the Shockmaster of the NHL. Even Shockmaster was an infringer, considering his too-loose helmet was just a spraypainted storm trooper helmet.

You guessed it our new fav school GOLDEN KNIGHTS THE COLLEGE OF SAINT ROSE! This whole thing is :facepalm: for Foley, NHL and anyone who calls themselves their attorney. Sent the link to my girlfriend who also happens to be a kicka$$ paralegal, at an IP law firm (based on what little I know of the profession). "Her: Yeah, there's no overcoming that 2(d) refusal without a coexistence agreement and a consent to use and registration from the prior registrant. That's an uphill battle. Me: So they may very well be at the mercy of the college? Her: Yep. It also really depends on which Examiner you get at the USPTO, but I can't see any Examiner letting that one go through without some kind of agreement in place." So, to wrap, Vegas has a legit roadblock, in the Golden Knights of Nowheresville, and is waiting on the US freakingArmy to decide if they want to pick a fight. Yeah...this won't end in embarrassment.

You buried the lead! There's going to be a TV documentary series about the creation of the franchise! There's no way that's not a trainwreck. "The franchise held an event Wednesday evening for the premiere of a television documentary series about the creation of the franchise. Per Dixon, all the top brass were sequestered in a VIP area and would not be available for comment." Totally normal behavior for a fledgling franchise to not make any important people available to talk to fans/media at a TV documentary series premiere...
