Caleb Williams trademarks 'Iceman' nickname in showdown with Gervin
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams is pursuing USPTO trademark applications for the nickname 'Iceman' (and a logo and silhouettes) after teammates popularized it; NBA legend George Gervin has filed competing marks for 'Iceman' and 'Iceman 44', leading to a public dispute with Skip Bayless who says Williams is stealing the moniker. Williams pushed back, saying 'words matter.' The USPTO will review the filings, with a lengthy process and a 30-day opposition window once a decision is made; no registrations have been granted yet.
