LeBron James blocks Carnival Cruise Line's attempt to register 'King James' trademark

 

Of course it could be part of an elaborate smoke screen from Cunard.

 

 

 

 

Interesting to note that, according to the database I searched, "King James" was the registered trademark of a non-alcoholic fruit drink up to December of last year, when it was apparently abandoned. There is no evidence that LeBron James ever applied for trademark protection for that term, so if he was using that term for himself, he would have been in violation of trademark protection prior to December 2019.

 

Seems a bit over the top to claim proprietary use of a phrase that has been used to describe a particular translation of the Bible for several hundred years prior to his being born.

When it comes to over paid celebs make under educated statements, we in the US have the market cornered .

Trademarks (in UK anyway) apply to a particular class of product and there are dozens of classes: you register a TM for the class your product or service operates in. So the Beatles had Apple as their trademark record label, while the eponymous computer firm had it for their products. If no one else has it, I could set up as Apple Cruises.

Would that be the annual report you're talking about there? I can't see any information in their press releases or shareholder information about it.

It's in the "10-K" report that Carnival has to file with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Carnival Corporation 10-K January 26, 2021

Thanks very much. Good to see it's still there, in black and white, at least.

It's on page 9 for me.  It says expected delivery date of December 2023. So that's really 2024. A long way off from now and of August 2022 as originally expected.

It´s numbered page 9 but page 11 in the pdf file. The document itself doesn´t count the first two pages which list the content.

At least they haven't cancelled it. 

 

It can hardly come as a surprise the due date has been moved. I imagine the shipyard may have been shut down for months with this outbreak and the supply chain has probably been disrupted as well. Or do you think the push back is a financial issue?

A bit of both but a lot more edging towards being pushed back by Cunard due to finances.
