It's not the act of praying that he's trademarking. It's that image of Tebow's body kneeling in that way. That silhouette is very powerful right now whether you want to believe it or not.

Take a picture of yourself doing that and use it on your own stuff and you'll have no problem. Nobody would associate your image with Tebow, I'm sure.

Also, somebody's personality has nothing to do with it, and once again you're proving ignorance if you think it does. All you're proving is that you don't like Tebow and you'll find anything you can to bitch at him about whether it makes any sense or not.

"Tebowing" has indeed become a national thing that pretty much anybody who follows sports at all knows about. It's become a verb, and it's also become a brand, so to speak. What's the first thing you would think about if you saw a silhouette of a man kneeling and praying like that? Tebowing, right?

Well, that is a powerful thing, and if somebody were to create some sort of a logo out of that silhouette they could do damage to Tebow's brand. The trademark will allow them to legally tell somebody to stop using that mark.

For example, I'm sure Tebow and co. wouldn't like it very much of somebody made a gay porno video called Teblowing and used that silhouette on the cover of their DVD. The trademark would allow them to legally stop that sort of thing from happening because it could cause confusion in the market place.

They wouldn't have to pay him royalties, though. It's completely separate.
In other words Tebow reserves the right to profit from it if he chooses.

And keep others from doing it in a manner he deems unseemly. Even though he didn't invent it and is a borderline NFL player who will be forgotten like a fart upon the summer breeze in a few years.

Only if somebody wants to use the mark so badly that they themselves will be profiting from it and share that in residual form with Tebow and co.

He cannot keep you from your prayers, and he cannot force you to pay him something if you happen to kneel the same way he does.

football players have been doing nearly exactly the same thing for decades


it's only the 'thinking man' arm aspect that is slightly different

This wouldn't be a problem. That's simply a player kneeling and praying and could easily be argued that way. That's not what this trademark will protect. Now, he may get a taunting penalty...but otherwise, he's good.

I never saw anybody hating on Anthony Davis for filing a trademark application for his Unibrow and copyright apps for the phrases "fear the brow" and "raise the brow". (http://www.cnbc.com/id/47951613/Anth...marks_His_Brow)

I don't see anybody griping at Austin Rivers, Bart Scott, Jeremy Lin, Vince Young, or RGIII for trademarking their phrases. (http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/fan...ng-commonplace)

Here's an article by the World Intellectual Property Organization all about sports figures and their brand as it pertains to trademarks: http://www.wipo.int/ip-sport/en/branding.html

This is nothing new fellas. You just don't like Tebow so you're crying about it.
