专利梦碎 − 美国专利商标局正式拒绝 LeBron James「Taco Tuesday」商标注册申请
专家认为「Taco Tuesday」只是一句普通的话语讯息。
UPDATE：在本月早些时侯，由 Lakers 明星球员 LeBron James 的公司「LBJ 商标公司」提出的「Taco Tuesday」商标申请，今回正式被美国专利商标局拒绝。
根据 Gerben 律师事务所的 Josh Gerben 的说法指出，该事务所认为这句话不能「作为商标」，因为它只是一种「普通的信息」。Gerben 还指出伊利诺伊州一家名为 Taco Tuesday 的公司已经注册了一个「Techno Taco Tuesday」的商标，而该公司是真正从事 Taco 玉米饼销售的公司，因而能够通过。看来 LeBron James 需要再另外想一个全新的标语了。各位不妨于下方查看 Josh Gerben 律师提出的说法。
The USPTO has refused the TACO TUESDAY trademark application filed by Lebron James’ company LBJ Trademarks, LLC.
The refusal, issued at 6:26 PM today, finds that TACO TUESDAY is a “commonplace message” and therefore fails to function as a trademark.#TacoTuesday

ORIGINAL：有在关注 NBA 巨星 LeBron James 的球迷应该都知道 James 对于 Taco 饼的热爱，他与家人时常会在星期二享用 Taco 大餐，James 更将此爱好冠上一个「Taco Tuesday」的名词，并会于网路上发出相关影片。
而现在根据知名商标法律公司创始人 Josh Gerben 的报导指出，LeBron James 的「LBJ 商标公司」已经将 Taco Tuesday 此一名词提出商标申请。据悉，LeBron James 的公司预计主要会在社群媒体、广播、网路等领域中的广告与行销用途使用 Taco Tuesday，也不排除会以此人气名词推出相关节目。对于篮球以外的领域，LeBron James 不仅开设学校、跨足电影圈拍摄《Space Jam 2》，现在更可能将事业拓展至娱乐圈，积极发展个人的副业与兴趣。

JUST IN: LeBron James leaves no potential business opportunity on the table. Over time, he has sought to own “Taco Tuesday.” He has now filed to trademark the phrase for social media posts and a show of that name. First discovered by @JoshGerben pic.twitter.com/IXNduvilzR
