“All Rise” remains synonymous with Aaron Judge, and nobody else apparently.

The New York Yankees star and reigning American League MVP won a dispute over the slogans “All Rise” and “Here Comes the Judge.”

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ruled against a Long Island man who attempted to use them for himself.

The claim stated it would, according to the Associated Press, cause confusion with the Yankees slugger.

Michael Chisena, the man previously mentioned, attempted to register the terms just four days after Judge was crowned the Home Run Derby champion in 2017.

According to Justia, and the “All Rise” trademark details, Chisena filed it as a “good and service” which included using the Typeset on clothing — namely, T-shirts, shirts, shorts, pants, sweatshirts, caps, and more.

Records also showed this wasn’t the first time Chisena had filed patents of the sort, including previous ones pertaining to baseball.

It had been opposed by Judge and the Major League Baseball Players Association.

In a 61-page opinion, which was obtained by the Associated Press, Administrative Trademark Judge David K. Heasley wrote, “We conclude that applicant’s marks, as used on or in connection with the apparel goods identified in his applications, so resembles opposers’ previously-used common law marks as to be likely to cause confusion or mistake, or to deceive,” under the Trademark Act.

Chisena claimed he had no knowledge of Aaron Judge.
