Her response: They are examining the visual depiction of the mark as a whole. The overall appearance, sound (when sounding out the words) stylization, color (if color is claimed as a feature of the mark), etc. Hope that helps. Is she doing this work pro bono? Or do you now have a tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still time, I guess. The Army's "Golden Knights" are garrisoned at Ft. Bragg, NC not West Point. Those are the Black Knights. I'd expect them to jump into the fray at some point as well.

bleuet Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Am I wrong if I say that they could go ahead and dont bother the ruling using the logo and name? The only consequence would be no trademark protection? Meaning anybody could design, produce and sell "Vegas Golden Knights" products as long the NHL logo doesnt appear on the product?

Even if Foley wanted to, I doubt Bettman & co. would allow it.

Morgan33 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 The name should have been Aces from the beginning. It's not surprising they can't make something as overused and generic as 'Knights' work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
