Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson have certainly caught everyone’s attention in recent months, and it seems Hudson was even approached to be on a very popular show.

According to US Weekly, Belichick’s girlfriend was “in talks” to compete on the current season of “Dancing With the Stars,” which began on Tuesday, Sept. 16. However, a source told the outlet that Hudson “thought doing the show was going to be a conflict of interest with her other projects, so talks fell apart.”

The two’s relationship truly became the talk of the town after Belichick did a controversial CBS Sunday Morning Interview. CBS’s Tony Dokoupil asked Belichick how he and Hudson met during the interview. Hudson, who is 24 years old, then walked straight into the interview and put an end to that line of questioning.

“We’re not talking about this,” she said.

The fallout from this has included multiple reports, all with different claims regarding Hudson’s involvement in Belichick’s professional and personal affairs.

Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson’s recent trademark filings denied

There were a few phrases that Belichick is well known for, all of which stemmed from his time with the New England Patriots. So, when the two sides parted ways in what has become a very contentious breakup, Belichick decided to try and put his name back on the phrases.

Hudson and Belichick reportedly filed four trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, but they have all been denied, per The Athletic.

He was denied the trademarks for “Do Your Job (Bill’s Version),” “Ignore the Noise (Bill’s Version),” “The Belestrator (Bill’s Version)” and “No Days Off (Bill’s Version).”

The reason given by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office was that it would cause a “likelihood of confusion” with ones that were previously filed. In 2009, the Patriots trademarked “The Belestrator,” along with “Do Your Job” in 2013, as well as “No Days Off” and “Ignore the Noise” in 2017. 

“It was very obvious that the USPTO would refuse these applications from the start,” trademark attorney Josh Gerben of the firm Gerben IP told ESPN on Monday. “They’re too similar. Like, I can’t say I’m going to make ‘Nike shoes (Josh’s version).’ Once somebody has a trademark registered on a name or a phrase, you’re not able to just simply add something to it and get it registered.”
