What's In A Name? Why Chelsea Won't Let Go!

Jose Mourinho: Registered as a trademark by Chelsea in 2005

Manchester United may have to pay Chelsea for the right to fully exploit Jose Mourinho's name when he is confirmed as their manager later this week.

Chelsea still own the rights to Mourinho's name and signature, having registered it as a trademark with the Intellectual Property Office in 2005, during his first spell at Stamford Bridge.
As well as being registered in the UK, "Jose Mourinho" is registered as a trademark of Chelsea FC on the European Union's Intellectual Property Database.

It means Chelsea can use his name on a huge variety of products, from eau de cologne to cotton wool, magnets, leather goods and pyjamas.

In practice Chelsea, who declined to comment, have used it on club merchandise including mugs, posters, smartphone cases and miniature figurines.

DStv Slashes Decoder Prices Over ‘Fuel Price Hike’!

DStv, MultiChoice’s digital satellite TV in Africa, has announced that decoders will now sell for lower rates.

Martin Mabutho, General Manager, Marketing and Sales, MultiChoice Nigeria, made this announcement at a press conference that held in Lagos on Tuesday.
“In this era when '145' is all you are hearing and less traffic is what you are seeing. I think it’s only appropriate that a company that is entrenched in Nigeria like DSTV be seen to continue in that tradition during this hard time,” he said.

DSTV Standard Definition (SD) with dish used to cost 20,000 but we cut it back to 12,500 naira in February. Now, because of this '145' and pleas from customers who would like to move to the high definition, we decided that with effect from Friday, a full set of HD zapper decoder with a dish and one-month compact subscription will go for 9,900 naira.
