WWE Files To Trademark One New Name And One New Term

This past February 15th, WWE filed to trademark the “Franky Monet” name with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) under the entertainment services category. It looks like the name Franky Monet will be used for a ring name in NXT, but there is no word yet on which talent will be given the new name.

The following use description was submitted to the USPTO for the “Franky Monet” name:

“IC 041. US 100 101 107. G & S: Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered live and through broadcast media including television and radio, and via the internet or commercial online service; providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment via an online community portal; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; fan club services, namely, organizing sporting events in the field of wrestling for wrestling fan club members; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fan club members; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely blogs, in the field of sports entertainment”

Last March 5th, WWE also filed to trademark the “Symbiosis” term with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) under the entertainment services category. There is no word yet on where WWE is planning to use the “Symbiosis” term for, but it reportedly comes from two Greek words meaning “with” and “living.” The Oxford Dictionary also defines "Symbiosis" as an “interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, with the advantage to "both or a mutually" beneficial relationship between different people or groups.”

The following use description was submitted to the USPTO for the “Symbiosis” term:
