Jericho filed to trademark an image of the character with the USPTO under Chris Irvine Inc, on December 6. The following description accompanied the filing:

“The mark consists of a full figure design of a character comprising a fedora, a leather jacket having spikes protruding therefrom, a scarf, and a painted face.
