Jennifer Ko Craft (Member, Las Vegas) was extensively quoted in the Las Vegas Review-Journal article, “Documents show WNBA files to name team ‘Las Vegas Stars’”. Las Vegas’ newly relocated WNBA team will be called the Stars, as it was in San Antonio, if its application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is approved. WNBA Enterprises filed the application Oct. 14 for the rights to “Las Vegas Stars” in Class 41, which includes services for sports and entertainment.
“The fact that they filed means that’s the name they want,” said Jennifer. “We don’t know if they’ll actually get it yet, because it hasn’t been examined.” Jennifer said the application process typically takes a year. She compared the situation to that of the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights, whose team name was initially denied because the College of Saint Rose Golden Knights in Albany, New York, objected. The Golden Knights’ name was approved after an appeal, and Jennifer said she thinks the Stars have “a good chance overcoming that issue” if it arises.
