Local time November 11, according to The Sun, Chelsea player Cole Palmer has applied to the UK Intellectual Property Office to register the "Cole" trademark for goods such as beauty care products, toys, and gaming items. Two British companies have since filed objections. Palmer's legal team has already removed soaps and fragrance products from the application, while another objection is still being processed.
One of the companies that filed an objection is Manchester-based Cole Beauty. The company claims to own "Britain's most luxurious bath and body care brand," with shower gels selling for £10. Following the company's objection, Cole Palmer's legal team removed soaps and fragrance products from the application.
Another objection was filed by London-based premium clothing company Cole Buxton Ltd and is currently still being processed. The company sells T-shirts and hoodies priced at £75 and £175 respectively.
Cole Palmer has faced objections when applying for trademarks before. Last year, the former Manchester City player applied to register his shivering celebration and the nickname "Cold Palmer" as trademarks, planning to use the nickname for beverages such as energy drinks, beer, and wine.
The goods listed in the application included alcoholic beverages, fruit-flavored alcoholic beverages, pre-mixed alcoholic beverages, wine, spirits, liqueurs, alcoholic energy drinks, and low-alcohol beverages. Château Palmer from the Margaux region of France subsequently filed an objection. To avoid dispute, Cole Palmer's advisory team eventually removed wine from the application.
