Bears QB Caleb Williams' application to trademark Iceman nickname denied by patent office

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' trademark application for the nickname 'Iceman' was denied by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office due to similarity with LaCrosse Footwear's Iceman boots trademark. Williams faces competition from prior users like George Gervin and Chuck Liddell and may appeal the decision. He has pending applications for an Iceman logo and other trademarks.
