Earlier on, we had informed you, via eWrestlingNews, that the phrase “Samoan Werewolf” is being trademarked by WWE, this being Jacob Fatu’s moniker. Now, WWE has submitted a fresh trademark request for the Samoan wrestler, this time under the “Jacob Fatu” label.
Since the mark is linked to Fatu’s birth name, he can retain it even if he decides to leave WWE in the future.
Fatu, who belongs to the esteemed Anoaʻi family, was introduced to the WWE universe last week on SmackDown, where he was ushered in as the latest addition to The Bloodline crew.
Here’s what the trademark filing explains:
“Entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer rendered and through broadcast media including television and radio, and via the internet or commercial online service; providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; providing information in the fields of sports and entertainment via an online community portal; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; fan club services, namely, organizing sporting events in the field of wrestling for wrestling fan club members; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fan club members; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely blogs, in the field of sports entertainment.”
