WWE Files Two Trademarks For The “In-Dex” Term

Submitted by David Draiman on

Last April 21st, WWE filed two new trademarks for the term “In-Dex” with the USPTO (the United States Patent and Trademark Office) under merchandise and entertainment services. The trademark filing would then be entered into the trademark monitoring database on April 24th.

Based on what is happening on WWE NXT TV, these trademarks will likely be used to further the ongoing storyline between WWE NXT Stars Indi Hartwell and Dexter Lumis. The term “In-Dex” was previously used by WWE NXT’s official Twitter account. WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix has also used the “In-Dex” term on her Twitter feed.

Below is the use description WWE submitted to the USPTO, along with related tweets:
