Jay-Z Sued Over Wrestler's Trademark

IP:

Wrestler Diamond Dallas Page has filed a lawsuit against Jay-Z for unlawful use of his "Diamond Cutter" hand signal.

Page, born Page Falkinburg, filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Federal Court, claiming he trademarked the rights to the diamond-shaped symbol in 1996 and has used it for wrestling and other entertainment ventures on multiple occasions.

Page contends that Jay-Z started using the diamond symbol years after on various commercial products, including the cover of Dynasty: Roc La Familia 2000 and Fade to Black.

Hip-hop fans are aware that the Def Jam President has used the diamond sign to signify his Roc-A-Fella Records dynasty.

According to Page, he introduced the "Diamond Cutter" symbol in 1996 on WCW's weekly Nitro and Thunder programs.

The wrestler, who uses the sign on the cover of his new book "Yoga for Regular Guys," also says he used the symbol on monthly PPV events, WCW live events, and media appearances, including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Representatives for Jay-Z or Roc-A-Fella were not immediately available for comment.

Honestly, I can't hate on DDP for this.

If you were an out-of-work former pro wrestler pushing 50 years, you'd exploit some miniscule shit to get a dollar too.

Ehh.. probably. He wouldn't have dropped the law suit and wasted that kind of money unless he had some kind of case, so I wouldn't be surprised if he did copyright it.
