Cole Palmer in unusual ‘Cold Palmer’ trademark dispute with renowned French vineyard
Cole Palmer finds himself in a legal confrontation that many football fans never anticipated: the Chelsea midfielder is clashing with Château Palmer, a celebrated French vineyard, over his effort to secure a trademark for his nickname. The England midfielder had submitted an application to trademark his signature “ice cold” goal celebration along with the nickname “Cold Palmer”, intending to introduce a variety of products such as apparel, toiletries, and even alcoholic beverages, as reported by The Sun. However, the Bordeaux-based vineyard, whose bottles can fetch thousands of pounds, has officially opposed the trademark application, contending that Palmer’s intentions may infringe upon their established brand identity. This matter has now reached the UK Intellectual Property Office, which will evaluate the arguments from both parties prior to delivering a decision.Cole Palmer aims to trademark his “ice cold” celebration. / David Rogers/GettyImagesThe vineyard was established in 1814 following the acquisition of the estate by British Army officer Charles Palmer, who initially named it Château de Gascq.
