TheFunPolice Posted December 1, 2021 Posted December 1, 2021 2 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Errrrrr.....the Dolphins have won their last 4 games, including the Ravens. Tua was "out" from early in Game 2, to Game 6. The Dolphins lost a close game to the Jags (3 points), a close game to the Falcons (2 points), ran into a buzz saw at Orchard Park, then haven't lost since. Fun Fact: that win over the Ravens would be the reason I currently have a Flying Pig as my avatar. I said that the Dolphins could beat the Ravens, when Pigs Fly. So.... I know they're playing him now because what else are they going to do.... But do they really believe in him? Has he really been all that impressive? I hope they DO buy into Tua and keep him long-term. That's good for the Bills! Quote

I hear the odds are good that something bad will happen to Mac N Cheesy Jones Tebow? Not good Hail Murray. The season went downhill Agreed, and I still think the argument clincher against such promotion would be the Peterman hype video. If that wasn't the heavens kicking the stepladder of karma out from underneath him, I don't know what was. 😁 1 Quote
HappyDays Posted December 1, 2021 Posted December 1, 2021 Josh Allen is the perfect QB for Buffalo sports and Mac Jones is the perfect QB for Boston sports. Please crush him on Monday. 2 Quote
Just in Atlanta Posted December 1, 2021 Posted December 1, 2021 It would be delightful if this doucheknocker goes down — hard — on Monday. Quote
frostbitmic Posted December 1, 2021 Posted December 1, 2021 Considering that the wedding dress company already has the rights to MJ10 does he sue his parents for his initials or sue the patriots for giving him #10 ? Suing is the American way. 1 Quote
Albwan Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 Please folks don't throw sex tools at him. Quote
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 Mac-10 is so much cooler than MJ10. I guess that would be frowned upon by the NFL though. Mac-10 would be sort of fitting too. Small and only accurate at short distances. Has a cult following by those that just want to look cool and aren't concerned about longevity or quality. 1 Quote
Bubba Gump Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 Major Joke 10 will fly wonderfully when he's a backup QB in a few years. You're not winning jack with an immobile QB who can't complete a pass over 6 yards. Never gonna happen. Quote

It has been common the last decade or so (+/-) for QB's to go by an initial and number moniker. If they become super stars, it helps them market their brand. At worst it costs a millionaire like $500 to $2000 dollars and they never need it. It is almost irresponsible not to trademark it at this point. What a nothing-burger. No need for good rationalizations around here lol... With that being said, it just seems like its too early but I definitely get your point. Quote

If a Pats fan wanted to do it from Cambridge a week earlier he would be toast. Quote

Your understanding of TM law is a bit off. An important aspect of TM law in the USA is that marks may not be registered and then "placed a shelf" for the future, but not actually used in interstate commerce. Jones will have to market and sell some sort of goods (or services--he's already doing that as a football player of sorts, making public appearances, etc.) in connection with the mark MJ10, or eventually his registration will be cancelled. You don't "trademark" something as some sort of routine paperwork filing and then forget about it. A trademark is an indicator of the source of goods or services you actually offer and are engaged in selling in interstate commerce in the USA. PS: Had Jones been late to the party there are all kinds of ways he could have rectified the situation. I'm not sure why the average American these days seems obsessed with trademarks, while understanding almost nothing about them. 1 1 Quote

I didn’t say he wouldn’t put it on a T-Shirt. He doesn’t even have to. He can just license it out and have somebody do it for him and he’s fulfilled the need. Start the Mac Jones foundation, put it on a quarter zip, and he’s fine. Just like half of the QB’s in the league. Why chase down a resolution later on for a problem that doesn’t need to exist? Quote

ChronicAndKnuckles Posted December 3, 2021 Posted December 3, 2021 He really missed the opportunity to trademark MAC10 instead. Quote
FLFan Posted December 3, 2021 Posted December 3, 2021 It’s a good thing he is getting this cleared up now because he will want to use that branding for his Hall of Fame Induction promotional materials. Quote
Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 4, 2021 Posted December 4, 2021 5 hours ago, That's No Moon said: Mac-10 is probably taken. I heard its the name of a gun. Bulldog had a hilarious rant on WGR today about the hole mj10 ten thing. Basically says he hasnt earned it and that mj is Michael Jordan and hopes we destroy him and the patriots. All of which i agree with but the rant was epic, lol. Quote
PatsFanNH Posted December 4, 2021 Posted December 4, 2021 He trademarked like 20-30 different things to make sure no one profits from him without him getting his cut.. that’s called being smart. 1 Quote
