Bryan Danielson submitted an application to trademark the phrase ‘YES! YES! YES!’ on July 29th to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Danielson popularized this chant during his time in WWE. In a conversation with Luke James Chats, Danielson revealed that he received a legal notice from WWE subsequent to his trademark application.
“I applied for it, but then I got, it wasn’t necessarily a cease and desist. I got some sort of legal letter from WWE. It’s really weird because my manager texted me and said, ‘Hey, this thing is available, do you want to get it?’ I was like, ‘How much does it cost?’ It wasn’t that much. ‘Okay, sure.’ Shortly after that, I got an email from WWE saying, ‘This is infringing on this or that or whatever.’ I’m like, ‘I’m not trying to sell anybody anything. I just do my thing.'” he said.
