Dimensions Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 Credit: 1Wrestling Former WWE Superstar Diamond Dallas Page recently filed a federal lawsuit against rapper Jay-Z for trademark infringement. The "Diamond Cutter" hand symbol has been being used by Jay-Z on some of his products some including CD covers entitled "The Dynasty: Rock La Familia 2000" and "Jay-Z Fade To Black" DVD, which was released this past April. When Dallas Page was in WCW back in 1996, its when he was first using the hand signal. Since that time he has been using it professionally for his wrestling and entertainment ventures. On the cover of Page's new book, "Yoga For Regular Guys" it also features the symbol. The hand symbol is kind of like a logo to him, hence the lawsuit.

Si82 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 This is just sad. Does Page have nothing better to do?
CanadianGuitarist Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 This is just sad. Does Page have nothing better to do? I agree on paper. In practise, I hate Jay-Z, so DDP gets my support.

CanadianChris Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 Let's be clear...Kimberly's nipple starred in 40 Year Old Virgin.
Guest Fook Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 Can you trademark a hand gesture? IMO, DDP's just looking for a quick payday.
CanadianChris Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 DDP's just looking to get back in the news.
cameron chaos Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 Can you trademark a hand gesture? IMO, DDP's just looking for a quick payday. Well the gesture was used extensively on DDP merchandise in the past so he does have precedent.
CanadianChris Posted December 5, 2005 Report Posted December 5, 2005 Larry Johnson made the Diamond Cutter gesture on national TV after scoring the winning TD for Kansas City today. Will DDP sue him too?
The Electrifyer Posted December 5, 2005 Report Posted December 5, 2005 I've seen Lebron James do it a few times as well. It DDP's gonna go after him too?
tekcop Posted December 5, 2005 Report Posted December 5, 2005 Can you trademark a hand gesture? IMO, DDP's just looking for a quick payday. Well the gesture was used extensively on DDP merchandise in the past so he does have precedent. I don't see the problem with DDP doing this. He makes a valid point.
