WWE has filed a cancellation notice with the United States Patent & Trademark Office regarding its application for the term ‘Cody Rhodes’.
The filing was made on November 2 and Heel By Nature confirms the cancellation has been made official by the USPTO on today, November 3.
There have been difficulties regarding this trademark for both parties. WWE’s ownership of it expired in October 2019, and then the company missed the deadline to renew it which was April 2020.
The same day WWE’s renewal deadline expired, Cody filed to own it himself. However, a month later, WWE finally tried to renew it and claimed COVID-19 had caused a delay.
WWE filed for it again, but with the exception of “live performances by a professional wrestler” in its description. In July, the USPTO denied Cody’s application citing confusion with WWE’s own filing.
Now that WWE has cancelled its application, Cody has a lot more chance of getting it and has until January to update his own filing.
