BEIJING, Aug 3: A Chinese entrepreneur has registered as a trademark the silhouette of French football star Zinedine Zidane head-butting an Italian player during last month's World Cup final, state press said on Thursday.
Zhao Xiaokai registered the trademark with local authorities for 2,000 yuan ($250) and is asking up to 1.0 million yuan from those seeking to use the image, the Beijing Daily reported.
