Yankees Star Aaron Judge Retains Ownership of Signature Catchphrases After Legal Battle

A federal judge ruled that a Long Island man cannot cash in on Aaron Judge's slogans.
Michael P. Chisena claimed that he should be able to sell shirts and hats that said “All Rise” and “Here Comes The Judge” because he filed to trademark them first.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office struck out Chisena, saying that there was a “preponderance of the evidence” that most people would tie the catchphrases to Judge and that they should belong to him.
The Major League Baseball Players Association joined Judge in filing to block Chisena.
Judge's opportunities to “use and leverage” these trademarks “are endless.”
