WWE Files trademark application for ring name 'Kushida'

By Tanushka Joshi

WWE has filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to trademark the ring name “Kushida”. Yujiro Kushida, a Japanese professional wrestler and mixed martial artist who is part of NXT is currently using “Kushida” for “entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer”. This is usually the usage description used when the WWE or any other wrestling promotion is attempting to trademark a ring name or performer nickname.

Before Yujiro started wrestling in WWE, Kushida was already making a name for himself as part of New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). He is a former six-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion and a two-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion.
