Tom Brady won't be trademarking "Tom Terrific."
The United States Patent and Trademark Office rejected the New England Patriots quarterback's application to trademark the nickname due to its association with former New York Mets pitcher Tom Seaver, according to Josh Gerben of Gerben Law Firm.
Brady drew criticism after news of the trademark filing broke in May. He later said he only submitted the application because he doesn't like the nickname and wanted to stop others from using it in connection with him.
