Well, this is awkward.
The company that owns Shaq's trademarks (Authentic Brands Group) has opposed his son's trademark filing for "SHAQIR O'NEAL."
How on earth did this happen?

The Notice of Opposition starts by claiming that Authentic Brands Group ("ABG") holds all the rights in Shaq's name, image and likeness.
This is true.
Shaq did transfer all of these assets to ABG and is a shareholder in the company.

1/Tonight, for the 17th time in the last 50 years, the #StanleyCup champion returns to defend their crown. This time, the #TBLightning are going for that rare feat - a three-peat and #dynasty status.
2/Three-peats and dynasties themselves are relatively rare. Below is a tour of the dynasties from the last 50 years starting with the 1974 Oakland #Athletics completing a three-peat with a 4-1 win over the #Dodgers with this home run.
3/ In 1979, the #CanadiensMTL completed their second four-peat, winning 4-1 over the New York Rangers. #StanleyCup #Dynasty
Ok so here's a long ramble of thoughts from the team behind #UPLINK. GET READY....
We talk a real big game. Like #SHAQ big. For NY's biggest videogame exhibitor, you need to. It's NY after all and it's ONE TOUGH PLACE TO BE. Luckily we always try to back it up.
But the reality is, we're really just a small group of volunteers who really, really love #videogames. Videogames, PC games, tabletop games...heck probably even the games on cereal boxes. It shaped who we are and our friendships.
