WWE revives Edge trademark application

WWE has indeed filed to maintain its trademark on the wrestling name for Edge, now known as Adam Copeland in AEW.

A search of the United States Patent and Trademark Office database indicates that World Wrestling Entertainment had abandoned its attempt to maintain the Edge trademark on April 22 after the USPTO did not receive a “timely response” to questions regarding WWE’s initial filing to maintain its trademark in November 2024.

A document dated January 6, 2025 gave WWE three months to respond to questions regarding the trademark, which the company apparently did not meet. As a result, the trademark was considered abandoned on April 22, 2025.

WWE revived its attempt to maintain the trademark on Thursday, May 1. The USPTO notes:

“If the application was abandoned for failure to file a timely statement of use or a request for
extension of time to file a statement of use, the application will be forwarded to the intent to
use unit.”

The May 1 filing indicates WWE’s intent to maintain the trademark. The USPTO states:

“The trademark application has been accepted by the Office (has met the minimum filing requirements) and that this application has been assigned to an examiner.”

Copeland has been wrestling under his real name Adam Copeland, and his nickname Cope in AEW.
