LAS VEGAS -- The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has denied the Vegas Golden Knights trademark application a little more than two weeks after the new NHL franchise unveiled its name and logo.The office on Wednesday cited potential confusion with the team name for the College of Saint Rose in New York, which is also the Golden Knights. The Las Vegas franchise is set to take the ice next season.NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the league will formally respond by a June 7 deadline outlining why it believes the name should be registered in co-existence with that of Saint Rose just as a number of other nicknames currently co-exist in professional and college sports (particularly where there is no overlap as to the sport for which the nickname is being used).We consider this a routine matter, and it is not our intention to reconsider the name or logo of this franchise, Daly said. We fully intend to proceed as originally planned, relying on our common law trademark rights as well as our state trademark registrations while we work through the process of addressing the question raised in the federal applications.David Alexander, assistant athletic director for communications at the College of Saint Rose, said the schools trademark was registered in 2004. He declined to say how the college would react if the NHL franchise continued to pursue its application to use the nickname.Its only the first period, I dont want to get too far ahead, Alexander said.Saint Rose does not have a hockey team.We have a registered trademark. We love the name, Alexander said. Fifteen years ago, we redesigned the logo and wanted a trademark to specifically protect our brand. The logo represents the spirit of the school.The patent office said the similarities were too many to overlook.In this case, the marks are identical in part, sharing the same dominant wording and overall commercial impression, the office said in denying the application. The nature of the applicants and registrants services is similar; both offer sports entertainment of a kind available in the same venues, broadcast on television, and are generally available to the same class of consumers. Accordingly, the examining attorney concludes that there is a likelihood of confusion between the applicants and registrants marks.The team told Sports Illustrated it found the patent office decision not at all unusual and said the official response would be crafted with help from legal counsel.Clarkson University in northern New York has a Division I hockey team nicknamed the Golden Knights. The school has not trademarked the name, and Kelly Chezum, vice president for external relations, said the college entered into a peaceful coexistent agreement with the owner of the new NHL team in Las Vegas earlier this year. Chezum said she knew there was a possibility of questions regarding the nickname and took a proactive stance. Milwaukee Brewers Store . R.J.
