True Geordie warns Heineken against \u2018copying\u2019 YouTube trademark YouTube: True Geordie \/ Heineken[jwplayer mgzBNoPb] In one of the more bizarre feuds to pop up in the YouTube space, UK creator True Geordie has hit Dutch brewery Heineken with a stern warning not to use a name he has trademarked. True Geordie has become somewhat of a big name in the UK YouTube scene. He hosted the first Logan Paul v KSI fight, as well as a podcast that regularly gets in big-name guests such as Logan himself, boxer Tyson Fury and comedy extraordinaire Ricky Gervais. While wrestling between the YouTube space and breaking into the mainstream, though, True Geordie \u2014 real name Brian Davis \u2014 was obviously shocked to see Heineken announce a show with the same name as one he hosts. With the return of the UEFA Champions League on August 7, Heineken tweeted out that they would be celebrating by hosting a livestream on YouTube and Facebook, calling the show \u201cThe Kick Off.\u201d Anyone familiar with True Geordie will know that he already runs his own show called The Kick Off, in which he discusses everything going on in the world of football. Immediately upon seeing the tweet posted by Heineken, Davis sent them a warning, explaining that he owns the trademark for \u2018The Kick Off\u2019 and suggesting they change the name \u201cto save this going any further.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/TrueGeordieTG\/status\/1291743686297092096 Obviously, it\u2019s unclear what the end result could be here. Heineken\u2019s show appears to, technically, be called \u2018The Kick off Powered by Defected\u2019, which could mean there is no incrimination on Geordie\u2019s trademark. It\u2019s also unclear whether the creator\u2019s trademark is held exclusively in the UK or whether it stands internationally \u2014 if that\u2019s the case, then Holland-based Heineken should have absolutely no issues. Whatever comes from this ordeal, we\u2019ll be sure to update the story if and when something happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
