A lot of kneejerk reactions here based out of ignorance. Lewis Hamilton tried to trademark his full name "Lewis Hamilton". He never tried to trademark just "Hamilton" The watch company sued to prevent him trademarking his full name, and then tried to trademark the name "Hamilton" which is their brand name as a way of blocking Lewis of trademarking his full name. Lewis Hamilton then sued stating they were trademarking the name "Hamilton" in bad faith (which they were) and lost the case. The main reason why Hamilton International decided to trademark their name wasn't for any legitimate reason, it was because they heard that Lewis Hamilton was going to come out with a Lewis Hamilton smartwatch and they wanted to force him into a licensing deal for using his own name. Needless to say, they won. And now if Lewis Hamilton wants to use the name "Lewis Hamilton" on a watch, he will have to work out a deal with Hamilton International.25-11-2020 17:44
