[Mecca]

Over the Stone Cold moniker.

Not sure how this ends but Vince is old and crazy and won't ever give in so...

[KCrockaholic]

Really..... Come on Vince.

Actually didn't realize CJ had a company called "Stone Cold Jones" LLC. In that case, CJ should've been more aware.

[Pointer19]

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...
IT'S TIME TO INTRODUCE THE ONLY DEFENSIVE TACKLE TO EXPOSE HIMSELF AT THE NFL COMBINE...
CHRIS "COLD AS STONES™" JONES

[notorious]

If it was cold during the combine.....good lord.

[kcclone]

The phrase “stone cold” did not originate with Steve Austin did it?

[Titty Meat]

If he loses that maybe he can do the suck it thing everytime he gets a sack

[KS Smitty]

There's a damn good ice cream shop called Stone Cold Creamery, I doubt they have WWE permission.

[keg in kc]

The phrase “stone cold” did not originate with Steve Austin did it?Regardless, they copyright literally everything. They've had that stone cold nick on lockdown since the nineties.

[keg in kc]

There's a damn good ice cream shop called Stone Cold Creamery, I doubt they have WWE permission.That would be Cold Stone Creamery. You dyslyxed them up.

[Red Dawg]

So stupid. This is a problem in America. Name this site Stone Cold CP and see what happens.

He's not going to win this, the WWE copyrights anything and everything associated with them...oh and Vince is best pals with the president.

Jones will more than likely win if he didn't use only the words "Stone Cold" on any of his products without including "Jones" for like products protected by the WWE filing for the wordmark "Stone Cold."

The USPTO filing is by WWE is for "Stone Cold Steve Austin" (76214253) and wordmarks as such are specific. "Stone Cold Jones" is a different wordmark entirely in the eyes of the USPTO.

The other filing for "Stone Cold" is specifically for alcoholic beverages, namely beer but was abandoned so this is moot. Either way, Chris' company filed for non-alcoholic so it wouldn't matter anyhow.

And they have a filing for "Stone Cold" (76210135) for apparel, albums, collectables, stationary, pens, video games, etc etc, which is different from "Stone Cold Jones." This is the most important one.

The wordmark "Stone Cold" is filed for all sorts of things overall, by multiple different companies. He just has to not apply that moniker to anything protected and I'm sure his legal team told him as much. If he's using "Stone Cold Jones," well then good old Vince will get a big fuck off from the USPTO.

ROFL Why yes, yes I did. Thanks keg!

[Jerok]

Coldstone creamery has GOT to be sweating this one.

[Rain Man]

Freezing Rock sounds just as good. Or maybe go with Igneous Intimidator.

[threebag]

That Cold Stone Creamery is a legit place for ice cream.

[TinyEvel]

Well only one thing left to do.

CP CHRIS JONES NICKNAME THREAD

[TinyEvel]

Or, he should just go with Chris "Rock and Roll part 2" Jones, and see how that goes.

[Valiant]

He's not going to win this, the WWE copyrights anything and everything associated with them...oh and Vince is best pals with the president.

I am not sure. There is enough other examples of stone cold being used. If his name was Steve or Austin I see it. But creamery, pizza and sc Chris sc Jones should be fine imo.

Has to be in a close enough industry to be confusing for customers or just damn well known (Coca-Cola, McDonald’s). As this is related to sports Merchandise it’s likely to be infringement but as said above adding Jones on the end probably makes it different enough.

"Boulder Glacial Jones"...

...that sucks...

[WhawhaWhat]

This is not the first dispute Stone Cold Jones LLC. has faced for the name. Jones Soda Co. and Stone Cold Brewery have also filed disputes over the name. The company has yet to answer their complaints.

Is having your own soda really worth all of this trouble and money?

[Dunerdr]

Is Jones soda upset as well?

[Mecca]

The biggest issue you have with WWE is the amount of money they have to just drag shit on forever.

[CoMoChief]

The phrase “stone cold” did not originate with Steve Austin did it?

No...in fact when finding his gimmick/name, his sig other/wife/gf at the time told him that he always gives that "stone cold" look....then it clicked and he decided on that name/gimmick and ran with it.

[Rain Man]

I remember hearing 'stone cold sober' as an expression when I was a child. It should be a public domain phrase.

I hate it when people trademark common stuff just so they can sue other people for using common phrases.

[ModSocks]

Chiefs fans need to boycott the WWE

[ChiefBlueCFC]

The words cold or stone weren't even real words until Steve Austin was born and he screamed stone cold and gave the doctor and his father a stone cold stunner

[Infidel Goat]

Vince McMahon and the WWF always come out on top of these lawsuits.

[BigRock]

Is Jones soda upset as well?

Yes. The bottom of the article says they're one of a couple others disputing the name.

[Coach]

Vince McMahon and the WWF always come out on top of these lawsuits.

Except for WWF.
