LeBron James has blocked Carnival Cruise Line's attempt to register a trademark for KING JAMES.

Carnival's trademark filing indicated it wanted to use KING JAMES as the name of a ship.

LeBron filed a formal opposition to the application last week.

Seems an odd name for a Carnival Ship.


That aside, we have many King James throughout history, and lestupid isn't one of them. Frivolous lawsuit.

His attorney(s) probably got in to a little bit of financial trouble and recommended this action so that they could drain a few dollars out of him.

Being a patent troll while being worth hundreds of millions is a bad look.

I'm not an IP guy, so maybe there is a rationale that I'm unaware of as far as branding in regards to contesting the usage of King James, but I would think it's pretty much open to whomever at this point, considering the historical record of various James.

Can’t have people aboard the Carnival King James jumping ship when things get bad.

Good for him. Makes sense. GOATBron is the first thing that comes to mind for the last 18 years when you hear "King James".

I don't think he realizes he was not the first King James
