The WWE legal department has been busy of late by filing some interesting new trademarks.

The first worth mentioning deals with merchandising the retirement tour for John Cena. According to a filing with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office), the company filed for "Cenation" for the purpose of merchandise.

Cenation is a term that WWE has used many times in the past. Cena will take part in this year's Royal Rumble on February 1 in Indianapolis, and it wouldn't be surprising at all to see him walk out with this term plastered across a new t-shirt.

However, it wasn't just Cena that WWE made new trademark filings for of late. On January 14, WWE made trademark filings for the following terms: The Game, Sam Stoker, Lashing Out w/ Lash Legend, Malik Blade, and Brooks Jensen.

Blade and Jensen are currently wrestlers with NXT, Lashing Out w/ Lash Legend has been a segment on NXT, Sam Stoker was the name that Kit Wilson used before he signed with WWE, and The Game was the nickname used by Paul Levesque (Triple H) during his days as a wrestler.
