news Patriots trademarked "Perfect Season" and "19-0"

[Nsmith91]

Though it has been nine years since the Patriots nearly achieved an undefeated season, the team just now has gotten around to trademarking "Perfect Season" and "19-0."

The Patriots have gone through the process with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and, in December, trademarked the two slogans through their parent company, The Kraft Group, online records show.

It was nine years ago this week that New England's bid for the first 19-0 season in NFL history ended with a loss to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII.

That seems a bit broad. So no other team in any sport can have a 'perfect season' now? That seems like a pretty common phrase.
