The document reads, The parties are actively engaged in negotiations for the settlement of this matter. Kobe, Inc. requests that this proceeding be suspended for 30 days to allow the parties to continue their settlement efforts. Back in December, the NBA legend suffered a huge setback in the battle over Black Mamba. The United States Patent and Trademark Office denied Bryants attempt to wrap up the battle. Bryant has been fighting the pharmaceutical company Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals for years. Hi-Tech has been attempting to trademark Black Mamba HYPERRUSH. Bryant is fighting them being able to trademark it, accusing them of ripping off his famous nickname. The United States Patent and Trademark Office shut down Kobes motion for summary judgment asking for them to void Hi-Techs trademark applications. They said the case would move forward and the parties would go to trial. They believe the evidence shows there is still much to be determined. *Bryant and the pharma company have been battling it out since 2017 after Bryant demanded their trademarks not be approved, fearing it would cause confusion with consumers*. He argued most people connect him with Black Mamba He even pointed to Nike using hyper their products, which would cause confusion with the diet pill name. *Hi-Tech fired back to Bryants opposition, calling him a bully and accusing him of overreaching his trademark rights to maliciously block their trademark.* The company argued another athlete, boxer Roger Mayweather, uses the Black Mamba nickname.

The Black mamba is literally a kind of snake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_mamba When you try to assert rights over a name that's not a made-up name and actually has a dictionary meaning, it's much harder to actually prevent other people from using it especially in unrelated fields. That's why companies like Kodak for example have fought hard to prevent the word "kodak" from being used as a generic term to mean camera, as it is in haitian creole for example. Or why Coca Cola doesn't want people to use "coke" as a generic word to mean soft drink. Or Kleenex --- Ohh boy <cite>AFrench2 posted [p:933660340] in KOBE had L...
