Turkish Olympic silver medallist Yusuf Dikec has taken steps to protect his now-famous pose from the Paris Olympics by applying to trademark it. This decision comes after several attempts by others to trademark the pose, which were ultimately rejected. According to his coach, Erdinc Bilgili, Dikec wants to ensure that his iconic stance remains under his control.
The pose, where Dikec stands casually with his hand in his pocket, quickly went viral, sparking a wave of memes and imitations across social media.
Even well-known figures like billionaire Elon Musk and Chelsea footballer Nicolas Jackson have mimicked the stance. The pose has become a symbol of Dikec’s calm and composed demeanor, resonating with people worldwide.
Merchandise featuring Dikec’s image, including T-shirts and mugs, has already hit the market, capitalizing on the popularity of the pose.
While the Turkish trademark office has not yet commented on the application, many are eager to see if Dikec will succeed in securing the trademark. This move could pave the way for more official merchandise and further solidify his iconic status in popular culture.
