Is it possible to trademark something that is not your idea or invention?

I guess I don't know if it's trademarked but ever seen certain hats with 4 letters on them over the last tenish years?

Nary a Clone-hawk athlete, will Ever have a globally-athletic-impact, similar to CCs.

I can hate the hawks til the day I die.
Then again, our state has produced the most "disrupting" athlete Ever, no matter the sport.
Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar, Josh A, etc, etc, etc, etc...could miss a game, due to injury. Stands would remain 100% full.
CC out? Attendence plunges.
That's because people care about those sports in their entirety.

CC has her own specific fanbase that isn't necessarily into women's sports, or even basketball.

Not really. The Fever and CC continue selling out NBA arenas and setting viewership records. I will give you that it's the only way for Mabrey, Sheldon and the Sun to garner any attention. Watching their game now v. Phoenix and even in that small arena there are tons of empty seats. That's probably why they go after CC, I'm sure they're very jealous.

Clark is the show. Period. And unfortunately it's turning into WWE or Women's Roller Derby. And they're doing it for attention. And the league will still lose money and the players will still cry about their salaries. I don't believe I'll waste my time watching. The actual basketball is terrible.

Yes, but he hasn't "changed-disrupted" the game in a manner that CC has.
If one had told me that me and millions of other's would be tuning into the WNBA, 2 years ago?
I'da lmao.

I'd compare her more to Mary Lou Reton, Chris Everett or Serena Willams than Jordan or Brady. It's still the WNBA. Calm down. Lol......

I don't think Pat Reilly came up with threepeat.

yeah, you guys gave some good examples.

I just think it would be an interesting lawsuit if she tried to prevent someone from making money on something they could prove they had created before she patented it.

I think this is much ado about nothing I suppose, not like she's going to make shirts with "mebounds" on it and I doubt very much anyone else is going to do that in a meaningful way as a troll against her.

Oh I'll bet she's going to try branding the hell out of that.

***EDIT: She already has, lol.



"Part" of the proceeds going to a good cause. Would be interested to know how big that "part" is.

Might want to go look up the history of this guy...
Jordan could miss a game(s). Bull's attendence drop, minimal, if that.
CC misses a game(s), big/huge drop.
Blows my mind that clone's us, can't appreciate a fellow IOWAN that has elevated the WNBA to pretty damn watchable.
I live in territory that doesn't know jack about Iowa athletics, nor cares.
I'm simply stating that CC has put IOWA on the map. Of course, where I live? It's IOWA. Nobody here, gives a rat's ass if it's Hawkeye or Cyclone. Pretty sure, the same could be said elsewhere USA/outside Iowa.
