Overview
- Chelsea's Cole Palmer secured UK Intellectual Property Office registrations for his 'Cold Palmer' nickname, his name and autograph, and his shivering goal celebration.
- The approvals give him control over commercial use, requiring permission for marketing or merchandise that uses the nickname or the celebration.
- The filings span a broad set of product classes, covering items from apparel and toys to more eclectic goods listed in the registry.
- The protection runs until November 25, 2034, with the option to renew in 10‑year periods under standard UK trademark rules.
- Trademark coverage targets commercial exploitation only, so players and fans can still perform the gesture, and Palmer has acknowledged inspiration from Morgan Rogers as other athletes pursue similar protections such as CR7, Mbappé, Bale and Bolt.
