Talk:2021 Rose Bowl

Trade marks

 * Point of clarification in regarding ViperSnake151's note on the name, both Rose Bowl® and Rose Bowl Game® are the trade marks of The Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association. The January 1 game is operated by the Football Committee of the organization in cooperation with the Rose Bowl Operating Company, which has representation from the city, UCLA, Tournament of Roses and others. The agreement to move the game to Texas was made by "The College Football Playoff Management Committee and Tournament of Roses" as indicated on the press release. Additionally ESPN is a party to the arrangement. BTW: the Rose Bowl stadium was originally built by the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association and deeded to the City. Update: Now the game will be known as the College Football Playoff Semifinal presented by Capital One (with the Tournament of Roses logo). Socalphoto (talk) 00:40, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

 * The title "Rose Bowl Game" was also used in today's Zoom press conference backdrop and quotes. Socalphoto (talk) 17:29, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've been keeping an eye on Pasadena Now for any updates. The agenda from the Pasadena City Council meeting held last week is online here. Dmoore5556 (talk) 20:25, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The main thing on the agenda is the "Price and terms of payment", not so much of the name. They had removed the "Rose Bowl Game" from the logo before, but then put it back. But not so at the Tournament of Roses website. Socalphoto (talk) 22:11, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Latest from this report: "Pasadena’s City Council met in closed session last week to discuss the issue, and had yet to report any action pending an agreement on the terms with the Tournament association. Parties weren’t commenting on those terms, but it appeared Monday that an announcement would be coming in the next two days." Dmoore5556 (talk) 06:19, 29 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Now the facebook page of the Rose Bowl game too went back to the "Rose Bowl Game" logo two hours ago. The official Tournament of Roses websites also now show the logos with the Rose Bowl Game title. Socalphoto (talk) 21:31, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
 * It was announced today, Dec. 30th, that the name "Rose Bowl Game" will be retained. Socalphoto (talk) 20:43, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes; I believe this article and Rose Bowl Game have been updated accordingly. Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 03:19, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Rose Bowl

 * Please see the case that was filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on Feb. 4, 2021 as No. 21-1051. The case is that the "Pasadena Tournament of Roses® Association, which for more than 100 years has been nearly synonymous with the annual Rose Parade® and Rose Bowl Game®, today asked a federal court in California to protect its rights in the tradenames Rose Bowl Game and Rose Bowl." It came about because the "City of Pasadena’s attempt to assert co-ownership in what are indisputably our trademarks ..." Socalphoto (talk) 01:56, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
