Conor McGregor's lawyers cite 'clear and obvious differences' between trademarks in row with Dutch clothing firm

Lawyers for Conor McGregor have hit back at a Dutch company trying to block the mixed martial arts star registering his own name as a trademark across the EU.

In 2017, Conor McGregor’s main firm here, McGregor Sports & Entertainment Ltd (MESL), lodged an application with the EU seeking to register the ‘Conor McGregor’ trademark.
