Château Palmer Opposes Cole Palmer’s ‘Cold Palmer’ Trademark Over Wine Classes

The Intellectual Property Office will weigh the submissions from both parties next.

Overview

  • Chelsea and England midfielder Cole Palmer applied last year to register the nickname and his shivering goal celebration for commercial use.
  • His filing lists alcoholic beverages including wines alongside categories such as clothing, food, toys, toiletries, razor blades and diet drinks.
  • The Margaux-based Bordeaux estate lodged a formal objection after wine was included, saying the proposed mark threatens its image.
  • Representatives for both sides have submitted arguments to government lawyers, who will issue a ruling on the dispute.
  • Château Palmer dates to 1814 and sells sought-after vintages, with some bottles priced around £750.
