The USPTO denied the trademarks for "Las Vegas Athletics" and "Vegas Athletics" on Dec 29, 2025, as they were deemed primarily geographically descriptive and not distinctive enough.

If they wanted to keep the name, I feel like that's something you should have done way before you broke ground on a stadium.

It means the TM examiner isn't a baseball guy (or gal)
This issue will get worked out

So they had a trademark on “Oakland Athletics”, but “Las Vegas Athletics” gets denied?
Doesn’t make sense to me

But we had no issue with it when the Jazz moved to Utah?
And how is "Athletics" tied to a specific region?
ETA perhaps I'm misunderstanding the objection.

Las Vegas Ayes

The term is too general. These standards are tighter than they were when Oakland trademarked it.

It's about Athletics being generic.

Probably a patent office employee from Oakland getting back at Rachel Phelps.

Las Vegas Aces would make too much sense.
