Pryor Cashman Partner Brad D. Rose, Co-Chair of the Intellectual Property Group, was quoted by ESPN and Front Office Sports following the withdrawal of Lamar Jackson’s trademark opposition against client FL101 Inc., the company owned by Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman.

In the ESPN’s article “Lamar Jackson Withdraws Challenge of Aikman's No. 8 Trademarks,” Brad, who serves as counsel to FL101, addressed the significance of Jackson’s decision to end the year-long dispute over the use of the trademark “EIGHT.” Brad stated:

“The withdrawal of Mr. Jackson's oppositions was voluntarily done by Mr. Jackson in the wake of some TTAB decisions that have gone against him[.] In my view, these ‘with prejudice withdrawals’ are an acknowledgement that Mr. Jackson's claims were an overreach and should never have been brought in the first place.”
