The term ‘INTER’ is short for ‘international’ and ‘INTER’ is commonly used to describe soccer teams.Because of the widespread use of the term ‘INTER’ in soccer, the relevant consumers do not associate the term ‘INTER’ with one soccer team; ‘INTER’ by itself is not a source indicator in connection with goods and services associated with soccer, ‘INTER’ has not become distinctive as used on, or in connection with, the applicant’s goods and services in the United States. Beckham recently revealed his Inter Miami franchise will play their first two seasons in Fort Lauderdale.The Manchester United legend has been looking for a place to house the franchise for six years with three previous options falling through due to cost, legal wrangling and local opposition.A location was settled on last year near the citys airport but there are still some problems to overcome at the ambitious Miami Freedom Park.
