Manowar golf clubs? Denied!
by Jim on Jan.31, 2006, under METAL News
From the Trademark Trial and Appeal blog:
Third-party registration evidence led the Board to affirm a Section 2(d) refusal of the mark MAN O’WAR for golf clubs, golf balls, golf bags, and various other items of golf equipment. The Board found a likelihood of confusion with the registered mark MANOWAR (Stylized) (shown immediately below) for t-shirts and hats.
…the Board concluded that the marks are similar, the goods related, and the channels of trade the same or overlapping. It therefore affirmed the refusal to register.
Pardon me while I laugh my ass of and collapse from lack of oxygen…

For most people,american life insurance falls into that category because it protects a family against a devastating loss of income.
