I noticed that the Trinity 2003 State Championship ring says the phrase "3 Peat". Does anyone now who owns the copyright for this phrase? This person has received royalties from the Chicago Bulls, LA Lakers, New England Patriots, and had to sue USC for rolyalties when they started printing shirts that said they were going for a "3 Peat". This man has also sued High Schools for royalties in the past. If I remember correctly this man has made millions from this copyright.

 

Don't cheat. Does any know who copyrighted "3 Peat"?

Pat Riley, isn't it?

Riley

It is Riley.

 

I just read a story about Texas A and M Copyrighting "the 12th man", and thought of Riley copyrighting "3 Peat". But Riley suing people for royalties is just ridiculous, it's not like he needs that money to support himself. I wonder if A and M will sue people for using "the 12th man". Because, I was thinking there was another college that was using that phrase as well.

I'm pretty sure the Seattle Seahawks have been doing this for a while too. Obviously not as long as A&M but I'm pretty sure they make a real big deal out of raising a "12th Man" flag at the beginning of games.

 

Copyrighting catch-phrases.... What a great way to make $$$.

 

I wonder if those guys on that Sonic commercial have copyrighted "That's sooo Gravy" yet?

Your right, it was the Seahawks that I was thinking of, not another college team. I wounder if the Seahawks will be paying royalties to A and M.

How about 3-peat or 3_Peat or 3(peat) anyone own those, are they fair game?

Or what about Back to Back to Back? If know one owns that, I'll take it. OK everyone pay up.

Who was A & M playing when they first called upon the 12th man?

Was it Texas?

A & M was on the Seahawks case during their SuperBowl year about use of the term, didn't stop them though, money may have exchanged hands

Bridget DeVries, the KHSAA commissioner copyrighted the phrase "Sweet Sixteen."

I know this is not football, but goes towards copyright. I heard a while back that a person actually bought the right to the song "Happy Birthday". That is why most restaraunts now have their own jingle. Is this true or just a myth?

Interestingly, the story has a KY connection:
