After ending his Hall of Fame career with an epic 60-point game, Kobe Bryant has spared little time before jumping into his next venture: running his company, Kobe Inc.
According to ESPN’s Darren Rovell, Kobe’s company filed to trademark his nickname, “Black Mamba,” earlier this month.
“Black Mamba” is just one of many phrases Kobe Inc. has filed to trademark.
