WWE Files in Opposition of Cody Rhodes Trademark Attempts

PWInsider has provided an update on WWE's trademark battle with Cody Rhodes with WWE.

A year ago, Cody Rhodes filed trademarks for past WCW event names such as “Slamboree” and “The Match Beyond." Now, it turns out WWE has filed in opposition on those trademarks on September 21st.

WWE's claim is that they purchased the rights to those concepts after acquiring WCW in March 2001, and that they're still being utilized on the WWE Network.

WWE is also arguing that they have been using these labels for so long that they are now “indelibly linked” together in the minds of the public. WWE is stating that Rhodes' attempts at trademarking these names is an “attempt to unfairly trade on their long-standing use and recognition."
