Back in October, WWE was involved in a legal dispute in regards to Kansas City Chiefs star Chris Jones and his use of the “Stone Cold Jones” acronym for his soda company. This usage infringed on copyright trademarks which belong to WWE and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
In a report provided by Heel by Nature, WWE is currently negotiating a settlement with the company owned by Chris Jones over the “Stone Cold” trademark usage. WWE filed a motion with the United States Patent and Trademark Office Trademark and Appeal Board on December 15th. This notion was filed to suspend the trademark proceedings. The reasoning behind this motion is so that both sides can a reach an agreement within’ the next 30 days.
The case will continue on January 15th, 2021 if both parties are unable to reach a settlement.
