The former Le Champion has recently filed trademark applications with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO). The applications, filed on Wednesday, April 10, include “The Rarified Air of Jericho,” “The Educator,” and “The Learning Tree.” The fillings for all three trademarks were done by Chris Jericho’s lawyer, Michael E.
