WWE is constantly filing trademarks for various names and terms related to the company, but Heel By Nature is reporting that WWE recently had multiple trademark filings denied by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
According to the report the trademarks, which were filed in October, have yet to be accepted for various reasons, one of which is lack of written consent from the talents performing under names the company was attempting to trademark.
The trademarks will be abandoned in six months if WWE does not provide written consent. The USPTO attached evidence showing that the names belong to living individuals and that written consent is required.
