Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson is in another legal battle, this time with his fellow quarterback.
Baltimore Ravens superstar Lamar Jackson is set to face off with Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, just not in a way anyone expected., Jackson is challenging Aikman's use of their shared No. 8 in a U.S. Patent and Trademark office complaint.
The appeals state that Jackson "has expended considerable time, effort, and expense in promoting, advertising, and popularizing the number 8 in connection with his personality and fame" and "is well-known by this number due to his notoriety and fame, along with his promotion of this number in his trademarks and in media coverage."
Through his attorney, Jackson filed two appeals against FL101, a company that listed Aikman as a director in SEC filings. The company owns nine trademarks for the use of "Eight" on various products, including beer and beach towels. Jackson, 27, has applied for trademarks on multiple uses of the number, including but not limited to "Era 8 by Lamar Jackson" and "You 8 yet?" His attorney says his trademarks were registered before Aikman's and that products from the latter's company are "highly similar in sound, appearance, connotation, and commercial impression" to Jackson's.
Christine Farley, a law professor at American University and intellectual property expert, says that FL101's attorneys might aruge that customers wouldn't be confused by the presence of a number, according to ESPN. FL101's response to the federal trademark office is due on Aug. 18.
