Inked Flash, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's company, reportedly filed a trademark last Friday.
Darren Rovell of ESPN.com reported the news, noting the trademark was for a black-and-white image of Kaepernick's face and hair. While Rovell wrote the company plans on using the image on products such as shampoo and jewelry, the filing said it could be used in association with "production of television shows and films."
Kaepernick generated plenty of headlines as a player for kneeling during the national anthem as a means of protesting racial inequality and police brutality, so it's notable the filing also said the image may be used in "providing classes, workshops, seminars and camps in the field of self empowerment and awareness to properly interact with law enforcement.
