Its a nickname people started calling him because he's from Greece.
Where the hell does he think the term came from originally.
If he trademarked it and is going after people that used it, Im waiting for my letter in the mail lol

DudeLubowski...as MrDankim pointed out....when a person has a trademark or copyright or patent, they have every right to protect those, including bring a lawsuit if the person does not honor any cease and desist requests...
And it isn't just about using the term....it is putting it on merchandise and making money.....that is the issue....

Lighten up dude. You must think people are dumb....have fun with it.

Merely pointing out the Greek has every right to do what he does with that trademark.
Paris Hilton has "That's hot" trademarked....so don't put that on a t-shirt without paying royalties...LOL.
Subway has actually tried to trademark "Footlong"

That term has been around over a decade weird nobody trademarked it before him. He's only been playing like 4 years.
He should trademark his name Antetokounmpo now thats original.
Try spelling that without copy/paste lol

The case in the article has to do directly with shirts portraying the player, and also features his likeness. It's not like he is suing some local souvlaki stand.

He has a brother thats going to be on the Lakers next season is he Greek Freak Jr or Little Greek Freak.
If you ask me I think Gannis the Greek Freak is an asshole lol

...... ah NO!

your just made my RAHOWA list Joker3

He sent a cease and desist letter and never got a response....
A lawsuit is the next logical step in the process, although he might have tried a second time with the letter.....
People run around violating copyright, patents and trademarks and if the holders do not take action, they can lose their 'rights'. It is called enforcement of your intellectual property and one of many ways your can lose your rights.

Actually, Micheal Buffer trademarked "Let's get Ready to Rumble". If you use that statement for commercial purposes you'll be sued...

Pat Riley trademarked “Threepeat” and “3peat” and now gets paid whenever someone wants to create a T-shirt or poster because a team wins 3 championships in a row. Sounds smart to me.
He tried to copyright “back to back” but they denied it as a common phrase.

I heard Gene Simmons from Kiss tried to copyright a $ (dollar sign)

Trademarks don't work:

That’s ^^ a sexy hitch man Bout the only non tranny that still gets me hard

It's more about suing for using his likeness than the name Greek Freak as the article you posted shows. People do that all the time. If you think that's ridiculous, imagine someone selling t-shirts, without your permission, of someone taking a shit on your face and it selling out. I imagine you wouldn't think a lawsuit like this would be so ridiculous.

People spend quite a bit of money on IP attorneys, whether patent, trademark or copyright to do searches to make sure no one else holds the patent or TM rights. They then spend money to actually register the patent or trademark.
They are then obligated to 'protect the item' by monitoring the marketplace to keep from losing their rights.
So when someone comes along and violates the patent or trademark, the person is not a happy camper and too many people think...no big deal....but it is a big deal....
