TNA have recently applied to trademark the term "Cold Blood" to use for a wrestling character.
The former Awesome Kong, Kia Stevens's attempt to register that ring name as her property was officially dropped on 12/3/10. As noted previously, TNA had opposed her attempts to trademark the "Awesome Kong" name back in August 2010, stating that Kong never owned the name. She was previously billed as Amazing Kong when performing and only used the name while working for TNA, so the ownership would likely fall under their umbrella. TNA also claimed that Kong used fraud and misrepresented herself when she applied for the ownership. As it turned out, Kong never responded to the claims, so she lost her bid to trademark the name. She was warned in October that if she didn't respond, she would lose the bid and didn't respond at that time, so on 12/3, they officially ruled against her.
