I don’t think you can copyright the noun Bulldog so if the name is presented British ‘Bulldogs’ (like Los Angeles ‘Anacondas’) then I think its ok
Im pretty sure the WWE does have some sort of trademark on the British Bulldogs because they were a tag team in the 80s…but then again that was in the 80s who knows how long that trademark lasts.
Hmmm, i wonder if the WWE has a trademark on “British Bulldogs” and the IFL will have to change the name of Ian’s team…
Ooooh. Menjivar signed for IFL ages ago, was not supposed to be anywhere else and… APPEARS AT AN IFL EVENT?!?!?!? OH MY GOD THAT’S NEWS!
😛
Strikeforce have announced Cung Le vs. Jason von Flue
I’m happy there’s a UK IFL team… doubt they’ll have an event here though so not quite sure it matters that much.
The ‘s’ on the end will probably save them. If anything the WWE probably has a trademark on the “British Bulldog” but not the plural. Shamrock and Freeman are definatly nice additions as coaches.
Ken Shamrock as a coach? Isin’t that…..More of a disaster in the making?
On the British Bulldogs question. The US Patent and Trademark Organization lists the WWE’s mark on “British Bulldog” as dead.
