ExArkie Posted November 27, 2020 #26 Share Posted November 27, 2020 5 hours ago, Underwatr said: More fodder for the ship name rumor mill: 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to over paid celebs make under educated statements, we in the US have the market cornered . 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Ray66 Posted January 28, 2021 #35 Share Posted January 28, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?
