Update: So many Heavy Hitters, so little time

A reader chimed in on the question of whether Glen Lerner was the only Heavy Hitter:

There is a company out of New Orleans named “Group Matrix” that licenses the Heavy Hitter and produces advertising for those in their exclusive area in various cities. [to see videos from the various "heavy hitters" in the U.S. click here]

There is only one trademark for “Heavy Hitter” in the Legal Services goods and services area. And it is clearly owned by Group Matrix; take a look at the second page of this U.S. Patent and Trademark listing, showing examples of the use of the name ‘Heavy Hitters’ in commerce – it is a CD or DVD containing ‘Heavy Hitter’ commercials and it has the ‘Group Matrix’ logo on the top of the CD/DVD. It appears [Group Matrix] holds the rights to the title ‘Heavy Hitter’.
So this means that lawyers all over Vegas can dream of one day moving to another city and becoming just liek Glen Lerner!
