WWE Files Trademarks For Past ECW Events – When Vince McMahon acquired ECW, he secured various assets related to the promotion, including trademarks, wrestling rings, and the extensive tape library containing ECW’s historical content. This acquisition allowed WWE to gain control over these valuable elements and incorporate them into their own operations.
On August 11, WWE took measures to secure the trademark rights for a number of historic ECW events through a filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This move was made for entertainment-related purposes.
The terms encompass events such as Cyberslam, Hardcore Haven, Barely Legal, and Massacre on 34th Street, all of which were significant pay-per-view events in the history of ECW. The intention behind this action is to retain control over these event names for future entertainment endeavors.
Here is the description:
“Mark For: MASSACRE ON 34TH STREET™ trademark registration is intended to cover the categories of entertainment services, namely, a show about professional wrestling; entertainment services, namely, the production and exhibition of professional wrestling events rendered 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 and entertainment through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information.”
