Kobe Bryant's family wants to make sure they lock in "Mamba and Mambacita" having an attorney for Kobe Bryant LLC file a trademark application on March 10, 2021, with the intention of using it for clothing and shoes.
This is according to the application filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office, which also mentioned workout clothing such as sweatbands, armbands and footwear.
It's unclear if an actual Mamba and Mambacita shoe is in the works, or if Kobe's estate is just trying to ensure no one else uses it.
