My brother just told me that Pat Riley trademarked the term "three-peat" and wondered if Randy Jackson had trademarked "in it to win it", which apparently Randy's been saying ad nauseum on that singing gameshow this season. I think the phrase has been used by the NY lotto for decades, but just for kicks I did a trademark search on "in it to win it". Apparently lots of people have put a trademark claim on "in it to win it" ( / in it 2 win it / init2winit / in it two win it ), but more impressively, somebody got trademark claim #78041153 for this:
