Did Tech try to trademark the "n9ne"?

I was thinking about this the last time I was in Vegas (a few weeks ago) because at the Palms casino there is a steak house called "n9ne".

This is something that can be patented and if anyone wants to use it they would have to pay a substantial sum of money.

Anyone have any idea wether he actually patented this, if he didn't he should have or should A.S.A.P.

you can't patent a name.. he could trade mark it

Your are correct buddy, my mind was in the world of copywrite and patents as I sent that message during my Patent law class, I am in law School so I feel stupid.

Anyways has he tried to Trademark it? The "n9ne" invokes thoughts of Tech, I mean Ambercrombie has the rights to use some # in the type of clothes they make, this would seem a better case because I have never seen this type of symbol used. The thing is I bet they would have problems showing that the symbol used by the restraunt actually lessened the value of Tech's name.
