OSU试图在它的名字前面添加"the"，而湖人球星想要拥有流行短语"塔科星期二"的权利。
俄亥俄州和勒布朗詹姆斯都被拒绝商标星期三。
这所大学试图拥有在俄亥俄州名字前添加"the"的权利，而湖人球星则想为流行短语"塔科星期二"注册商标。
据美国全国广播公司新闻网报道，俄亥俄州被剥夺了将"THE"作为服装专用权，因为保护是没有必要的。另一方面，"塔科星期二"被认为是一个"司空见惯的术语"。
中断：美国专利商标局拒绝了@KingJames"塔科星期二"的商标申请。审查律师发现，该短语是一个"司空见惯的信息"，不能作为商标受到保护。@JoshGerben首次发现。pic.twitter.com/cnebxx9hyt
• 达伦·罗维尔 （@darrenrovell） 2019年9月12日 在两个商标都被拒绝后，"塔科星期二"能成为15次全明星赛的答案吗？
詹姆斯的发言人告诉ESPN，即使商标被拒绝，结果仍然是詹姆斯希望完成，这是"确保勒布朗不会被起诉使用'塔科星期二'。詹姆斯的发言人指出，美国专利和商标局的裁决保护任何人出于商业原因不使用"塔科星期二"。
发言人说："将'塔科星期二'视为司空见惯的事情，正是达到了预期的结果，这让美国政府认识到，不能有人因使用而被起诉。
据美国《国家报》报道，"塔科星期二"被认为是"各方广泛使用的信息，通过在一个专门的工作日推广和庆祝，来表达对玉米饼的热情"。
詹姆斯在社交媒体上记录了他的"塔科星期二"，这些帖子已经风靡一时。其中最引人注目的是他邀请湖人队的新队友安东尼·戴维斯来吃饭。

Ohio State, LeBron James denied trademarks; maybe ‘The Taco Tuesday’?
原文：
OSU was trying to add "the" in front of its name, while the Lakers star wanted to own rights to the popular phrase "Taco Tuesday."
Ohio State and LeBron James were both denied trademarks Wednesday.
The university was attempting to own the rights to add "the" in front of Ohio State's name, while the Lakers star wanted to trademark the popular phrase "Taco Tuesday."
Ohio State was denied making "the" an exclusive right for use on apparel because the protection isn't necessary, according to NBC News. "Taco Tuesday", on the other hand, is considered a "commonplace term."
BREAKING: U.S Patent & Trademark Office has refused @KingJames’ trademark application for “Taco Tuesday.” Examining attorney found that phrase was a “commonplace message” and can’t be protected as a trademark. First discovered by @JoshGerben. pic.twitter.com/cnebxx9hyt
— Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) September 12, 2019 After both trademarks were denied, could "The Taco Tuesday" be the answer for the 15-time All-Star?
A spokesman for James told ESPN that even though the trademark was denied, the outcome was still what James had hoped to accomplish, which was "to ensure LeBron cannot be sued for any use of 'Taco Tuesday.'" The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's ruling protects anyone from using "Taco Tuesday" for business reasons, James' spokesman noted.
"Finding 'Taco Tuesday' as commonplace achieves precisely what the intended outcome was, which was getting the U.S. government to recognize that someone cannot be sued for its use," the spokesman said.
"Taco Tuesday" is considered a "widely used message used by various parties to express enthusiasm for tacos by promoting and celebrating them on a dedicated weekday," according to the USPTO.
James has documented his "Taco Tuesdays" on social media with posts that have gone viral. One of the most notable ones came when he invited his new Lakers teammate Anthony Davis over for dinner.
