Battle For "The Brow"

[CENTER][/CENTER]
By now it is common knowledge that prior to the NBA Draft Anthony Davis trademarked the phrases “Fear the Brow” and “Raise the Brow,” but he may find himself in a legal battle to earn the rights to them…or out a lot of money.

Local UK apparel store owner, Reid Coffman, says he coined “Fear the Brow” during Davis’ sole
year at Kentucky and owns rights to it. According to Eliana Dockterman of [URL=”http://keepingscore.blogs.time.com/2012/07/06/battle-for-the-brow/”]TIME[/URL], Coffman said, “If someone like Nike took this slogan over it could be worth millions.”

Davis was prohibited to profit off of his image or likeness while in college due to NCAA rules that could have risked his eligibility.
