An American Football star is set to duel with two fans over the right to trademark<\/a> ‘Tebowing’.<\/p>\n

New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow, 24, is looking to secure intellectual property rights to the term, which relates to the NFL star’s on-field praying stance.<\/p>\n

‘Tebowing’, which is derived from the sportsman’s surname, has become an internet sensation – with fans posting pictures of themselves ‘tebowing’ and posting them on the web.<\/p>\n

Jared Kleinstein, a 24-year-old NFL fan from Manhattan, is also seeking a trademark for the term, reports Scripps News.<\/p>\n

He claims to have invented the word ‘tebowing’, and brought it to the attention of the online community through his photo-based website tebowing.com.<\/p>\n

The third applicant is Jason Vollmer of Jacksonville Beach, Florida, who currently sells ‘Tebowing’ T-shirts and stickers on his website tebowinggear.com<\/p>\n

All three parties believe they have the legal rights to the trademark and are using the necessary legal channels to secure intellectual property protection.<\/p>\n

Tim Tebow’s attorney Anthony Keats claimed that awarding the Tebowing trademark to someone other than the quarterback was likely to cause confusion.<\/p>\n

He said it would give the impression that the Jets’ player is connected to the products being sold, when this is not actually the case.<\/p>\n

Speaking last week, Tebow – an active Christian evangelist – noted that he was “not the first athlete that’s gotten on a knee and prayed”.<\/p>\n

“But somehow it’s known as Tebowing and I’m not sure why… It’s not all a bad thing,” he added.<\/p>\n

“If somehow people are talking about prayer, or talking about my faith, I think that’s pretty cool.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
