WWE BRINGING BACK ANOTHER CLASSIC TV SERIES, RYBACK CAUSING FRUSTRATION

WWE have registered to trademark "WWE Spotlight", as a name for a new television show. This was the title of one of their syndicated series in the 1980s.

WWE have been refused registration to trademark "Ryback". They were first refused back in January because the USPTO felt it was merely a surname and they don't allow trademarks for such. WWE got back to them a few days ago, giving various reasons as to why their Ryback is more than just a surname. They were again refused, this time final, because the USPTO were not satisfied with their answer.
