Summary

In this episode of Body Slam Briefs, host Jeff Lipman discusses the recent developments in the legal arena regarding Daniel Bryan's attempt to trademark 'Yes' from WWE. Initially, Bryan filed an in-use trademark application, claiming he had been using it since July 2009, which was factually incorrect as WWE owned the rights. Bryan withdrew the application after WWE's intervention. Meanwhile, WWE filed intent to use applications for 'Yes' under two classes, apparel and entertainment services. Jeff speculates why WWE might not be rushing to market the trademark and discusses possible future scenarios involving Bryan and WWE. The podcast concludes with Jeff inviting listeners to engage with him on various social media platforms and to explore his other podcast topics.
