Update on Impact Filing For Hardy TradeMarks & The Broken Hardy Gimmick

According to Pinsider.com, Impact Wrestling filed for the trademarks related to the Broken Hardys back in January. The trademark listing states it was in April, but that may just be the date it was actually filed by the government. Those within the company are upset, feeling that the coverage of the story has been too “pro Hardy.” The site adds that under Dixie Carter’s ownership, Impact did little to nothing to protect or own the trademarks and characters that were created by the company. An example of this is that Bully Ray owns his name and gimmick because he trademarked them. At this time, there are several names being utilized by the company that aren’t owned or trademarked by Impact Wrestling, TNA Entertainment or Anthem Media.
