NBA files for rights to 6 nicknames
(Wire) - The NBA has filed for trademark
rights to six nicknames for the league’s new Oklahoma City franchise:
Barons, Bison, Energy, Marshalls, Thunder and Wind.
An attorney for the league made the filing Monday with the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office.
Marshal is usually spelled with one l. It’s not clear why the league
used a variant spelling.
The filing is listed on the patent office’s Web site.
The NBA and the team have refused to discuss possible new names for the
team formerly known as the Seattle SuperSonics ahead of an official
announcement, which has not yet been scheduled.
