The Oscar-winning actor has trademarked several phrases, including “Alright, alright, alright” from the cult classic film, Dazed and Confused.

How would this work for material made between the quote and the time that they trademarked it?
They could argue they are free using those instead?
They would have to try fighting it on non-trademark grounds. However, being able to point at having been awarded one afterwards may carry some weight there as well. My impression is that their strategy doesn’t rest on this alone.
