※ [本文轉錄自 MLB 看板 #1HA45I5A ] 作者: abc12812 () 看板: MLB 標題: [情報] 洋基: 請認明㊣邪惡帝國㊣時間: Sat Feb 23 12:10:55 2013 http://tinyurl.com/auqo76k A panel of trademark judges in Washington, D.C., earlier this month denied a request from a private entrepreneur, known as Evil Enterprises, Inc., to register the trademark for the phrase "Baseballs Evil Empire." 某家叫邪惡企業的公司申請商標 "棒球邪惡帝國" 但在這個月稍早被華盛頓法官駁回 Evil Enterprises wanted the exclusive right to market merchandise using that phrase, which was coined in regard to the Yankees by Larry Lucchino, the president and chief executive of the Boston Red Sox, back in 2002. Upon learning that the Yankees had signed sought-after Cuban pitcher Jose Contreras, Lucchino was widely reported as saying: "The evil empire extends its tentacles even into Latin America." Evil Enterprises initially applied for a trademark back in July of 2008. 邪惡企業在2008年申請這個商標 But the Yankees objected, arguing that they had the rights to the phrase—at least when used in connection with baseball. 洋基反對表示他們擁有"邪惡帝國"的所有權 Part of the Yankees' argument: a concession that in the baseball world, they are, in fact, the "Evil Empire." In its legal papers, the team referenced a number of articles from the past decade using the term in connection with the Yankees, and conceded that the team has "implicitly embraced" the "Evil Empire" theme by playing music from Star Wars during their home games. 洋基: 棒球界只能有一個㊣邪惡帝國㊣ The panel of judges sided with the Yankees, ruling that the Yankees are strongly associated with the phrase. Allowing anyone else to use the phrase exclusively would likely cause confusion, ruled the judges. 法院認同洋基隊的說法 "In short, the record shows that there is only one Evil Empire in baseball and it is the New York Yankees," wrote the judges. "Accordingly, we find that [the Yankees] have a protectable trademark right in the term . . . as used in connection with baseball." 法院: 紀錄顯示棒球界只有一個㊣邪惡帝國㊣而那就是洋基隊 Gerard Dunne, a lawyer for Evil Enterprises, said he and his client had yet to figure out whether to appeal. 邪惡企業的律師Gerard Dunne表示他們還沒決定要不要上訴 "But we disagree with the opinion, because we don't think "Evil Empire" exclusively refers to the Yankees anymore," he said. "You've seen it used with the Phillies, the Rangers, and other teams." Dunne: 但我們不同意這個說法因為我們不認為"邪惡帝國"現在只專屬於洋基隊所有你可以看到它被用在費城人遊騎兵和其他隊上 Representatives for the Yankees didn't respond to request seeking comment. When reached Friday, Lucchino said, "It sounds to me like the dictionary definition of ironic. I meant it when I said it. I felt it was a sincere comment then." He added, "I give them credit. Their embracing it is clever indeed." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.25.133
