USPTO blocks Caleb Williams’s bid to trademark 'Iceman'
TL;DR Summary
The USPTO issued an initial refusal to Caleb Williams’s bid to trademark 'Iceman', finding it too similar to LaCrosse’s 'Iceman' boots and likely to cause consumer confusion; Williams can appeal, and he has said the filing was a defensive move to deter others from selling 'Iceman' merch, a controversy amplified by the nickname of former NBA star George Gervin.
