Eight teams remain in the NFL playoffs, with the conference semi-final games this weekend. More and more athletes have realized the value of their brands off the field, and I believe that a record number of them own trademark registrations or applications today. Many players on the eight remaining team – and even coaches – have USPTO trademark applications or registrations.
