In #TheHobby trademark news, Topps filed two oppositions against Surujnarine Femy Singh's two TOPPSHOT trademark applications...applications that cover, basically, athletic wear.

As you can imagine, Topps owns a couple trademark registrations on TOPPS like properties...quite a few for athletic wear as well. And Topps relies on all of them against the TOPPSHOT marks.

Topps also shows that it uses its TOPPS marks on apparel...and I think I need both of these shirts.

Next steps in the process, the TOPPSHOT applicant has until Nov. 22 to respond to Topps' opposition.

Given how these things tend to go, I'd be surprised if an answer is filed. Most likely applicant will not respond and Topps will win by default.

You may remember, Topps also recently filed trademark oppositions to defend its PUSH POP registrations as well.

If you'd like to catch up on that one, here ya go:

To do this correctly, I need to tell the whole story. SO...those who have already followed my tweets on Upper Deck v. Flores (or what will forever be known as "The case where someone filed a pic of their ass in federal court"), bear with me a second.

Or is it bare? Bare ass?

And don't say I didn't warn you.

THIS WILL HAUNT YOU.

So stop reading if you want to keep your sanity.

For the rest of the depraved, go right ahead. Keep reading.

OK, enough theatrics.

This case started innocently enough. It's a lawsuit Upper Deck brought against an alleged seller of a counterfeit UD card named Flores.

If you want a summary of what the case is about, here you go:
