In the midst of the maximum focus on the new season, Chelsea's Cole Palmer star was entangled in a very strange brand war, which could make him costly financially.
According to the British and French press, the Chelsea star is entangled in legal disputes with the French vineyard when Cole Palmer wants to make money from his own image. Specifically, the Blues and England stars are entangled in the legal battle with Chateau Palmer, a vineyard in France, on the trademark registration for his name.
Palmer wants to register the trademark for his famous “ice -cold” goal with his name “Cold Palmer”. But the English player's application is currently facing a legal challenge from a wine factory based in Bordeaux, France.
By registering the trademark, Palmer hopes to use this nickname for a variety of products, from personal hygiene utensils to clothes, and his registration form also requires protection law to market wine. According to The Sun, Palmer's document lists the list of drinks: “Alcoholic beverages; alcoholic beverages; pre -mixed alcoholic beverages; wine; Men; Must of Wine; Alcoholic Bisets; Bevers with low alcoholic beverages; none of the above types, including wine, meet the standards of Champagne PDO PDO”.
Palmer's lawsuit made the French vineyard worried, and now they protested. Lawyers at the French Government's Intellectual Property Office will consider this issue and make a decision on the incident after listening to representatives of both parties. In fact, Chateau Palmer Castle was named after an British army officer, Charles Palmer, who bought this area in 1814, then named Chateau de Gascq.
Currently, Palmer still focuses on his match and will aim to score the first goal in the Premier League since January this week when Chelsea confront West Ham. All troubles will be resolved by his legal representative.
