MS Dhoni's Application To Trademark "Captain Cool" Accepted

Former Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has filed an application to officially register the trademark "Captain Cool", a moniker he attained due to his calm demeanour during stressful moments of cricket matches

The trademark application filed in June 2023 was "accepted and advertised" by the Trademarks Registry, Kolkata Office, in June this year. The trademark was published in the journal on June 16, 2025, to invite objections. If no objection or opposition is raised to the trademark by anyone within 120 days from June 16, it will be granted.

The trademark application has been made under Class 41, a category dealing with education, training, entertainment, sporting and cultural activities. Dhoni has made the application to secure the rights over "Captain Cool" in fields related to sports training and coaching.

Once the "Captain Cool" trademark is granted, none other than Dhoni can commercially use "Captain Cool" in fields related to sports and entertainment.
