Two Things
1. The reference to the trademarks base does little to change the issue - for instance both Newcastle United, New York and Newtown all have Jets in their reference.
In actual fact the New York Jets made first reference (in 79) in trademarks over Newtown in 82.
You should also note this is recognised effectively by Newcastle United when the primary reference of difference is NOT to Newtown but New York (American football) in their classes claim. http://pericles.ipaustralia.gov.au/...o=1&p_ExtDisp=D&p_detail=DETAILED#t1050499c16 If anything the group that actually might make claim is Newcastle not Newtown as they have tried to sew up the image and merch.
If anyone owns 'Jets' in the trademarks database it New York not Newtown
Ipswich if they so chose (which I think the name should be SQ Diggers anyway) can do the same as Newcastle United.
The issue is not exactly the name as shown, it is provable infringement in business operation. As Newtown IS NOT NOW part of the NRL in anyway that is going to be difficult.
2. Believing Newtown did not draw inspiration for the name from New York is blind. Doing so is nothing to be ashamed of but it is ridiculous to suggest otherwise.
