WWE has applied for a new trademark for a previous tournament name.
WWE filed for “NXT Gold Rush” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on June 9 for the categories of a professional wrestling show. The complete description is as follows:
“Mark For: NXT GOLD RUSH trademark registration is intended to cover the categories of a show about professional wrestling; the production and exhibition of professional wrestling events rendered live and through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing wrestling news and information through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing information in the fields of sports through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing a website in the field of sports information.”
