Trademark Office Turns Down Minkah Fitzpatrick’s Application

“Registration is refused because the applied-for mark consists of or includes matter which may falsely suggest a connection with Ryan Fitzpatrick,” the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office wrote.

Idiotic to begin with but how funny is it that Ryan Fitz has a nickname in the first place? The guy is a journeyman that isn’t a starter unless the team sucks or the incumbent QB gets suspended or also sucks.

In fact he has a nickname as it is bc he isn’t that good. The whole thing is ludicrous.

I said it when he applied, FitzMagick should have been the way to go.

You do realize filling for a trademark takes a less than a day and the person filling doesn't have to be the interested party?

I was joking around because they refused his claim because people would mistake him with Ryan, hence the "oh wait" at the end...

usually when you trademark something you have a "good product". Nothing in Miami is worth the effort right now. If he had just won the AFC East and had home field advantage and bye week, good go to the trademark office.

Good on him for trying to grow his own brand. Minkah is going to be a star in this league the kid has all the ability and the right attitude. We just need coaches that know how to use him.
