Looks like someone is feeling confident. Miami Heat President Pat Riley recently filed for ‘3-Peat’ trademark.
Hit the jump for details…
Via ESPN:
The Heat president owns four trademarks to the varying versions of the phrase “Three-Peat.”
And although it’s unknown whether Riley intends to license the phrase to companies making championship gear, the former coach seems to be thinking about it.
Records with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office reveal that, last Thursday, an attorney representing Riley’s company, Riles & Co., filed a trademark to use the phrase “3-Peat” on “jewelry, namely rings and sports memorabilia.”
Riley wouldn’t have to file for a trademark if he had planned on putting “3-Peat” on the Heat’s championship rings, should they win the title, but would want to protect his investment if there were discussions about selling rings at retail.
