The registration indicates that the fastest man in history will promote a variety of things, including sunglasses, jewelry, purses, and athletic goods, as well as restaurants and sports bars.
Usain Bolt is attempting to patent a logo depicting his famed winning posture.
The eight-time Olympic gold medalist and retired Jamaican sprinting legend applied with the US Patent and Trademark Office last week.
According to the application, he intends to promote a variety of commodities, including sunglasses, jewelry, purses, and sporting goods, as well as restaurants and sports bars.
Josh Gerben, a trademark specialist in Washington, DC, told Bloomberg, “The list is rather comprehensive.
He may license the logo or manufacture the things himself.
Bolt is worldwide renowned for his characteristic stance – leaning back and pointing to the sky – which he adopted frequently after accumulating several gold medals and world records.
He is still the fastest man in history, holding the 100m and 200m world records.
According to the application, the logo features “the silhouette of a man in a unique stance, with one arm bent and pointing to the head and the other arm elevated and pointing skyward.”
Twelve years ago, he applied to register a comparable trademark, which has now expired due to non-use.
Throughout his career, Bolt endorsed several companies, including Puma clothing and Virgin Media, where he pushed broadband speeds.
During the 2017 World Championships in London, he announced his retirement from the sport of athletics.
He attempted to convert to professional football and had a trial with an Australian team, but they were unable to reach an agreement, and in 2019 he announced his retirement from sports.
The 36-year-old has other business interests, however a company he co-founded to hire electric scooters shut down in the United States last month.
