Walk through the city filled streets anytime throught the day and you are bound to hear someone talk about the Knick's Jeremy Lin, or "Linsanity" as we know it. However, there has arisen a few trademark sparks with his new "nickname."
Pamela Deese, a lawyer representing Lin, sent one of a few applications to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to patent his nickname. This is interest, while it not only takes a cool nickname and puts "protection" on it, but the extent of how people are pushing just to get this personal name patented by them.

great basketball player, love the knicks! He should definitely patent his nickname before someone else does.
ReplyDeleteCheck out L&L Hawaiian Barbecue in the Trumbull Mall food court. They just started selling Lin-Katsu Chicken. I think that's pushing it.
ReplyDeleteHis fame happened way to quickly-- Too much pressure was put on the all star, http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2012/03/bulls-fans-taunt-jeremy-lin-over-rated-new-york-knicks-united-center-espn-chicago-bulls/1
ReplyDeleteI use to go to watch Boston College games and every time they played Harvard Lin would drop like 30 points. I'm glad hes doing so well now!
