Ric Flair Threatens Legal Action

Ric Flair has issued a public legal threat on social media over his “Flair” trademark, warning that the person using it has until Monday to resolve the matter or face his attorneys.

Flair posted on X: “Unfortunately, There Is Someone That I’m Very Familiar With Using My Own Trademark FLAIR. I Would Like Anyone Who Is Using My Trademarks — Which Are Impossible To Own And I Own Mine — To Know That I’m Well Represented By A Reputable $1000 Per Hour Attorney That Makes A Living Suing People That Abuse My Trademark. You Know Who I’m Talking About. I Hope You Can Clear This Up By Monday, And If We Can’t Resolve This Issue, Read The Penalties.”

In a second post, Flair made clear the target is his son David, saying their relationship ended nine years ago. “The Relationship Was Gone 9 Years Ago. I’m Sorry And Sad That It Has Come To This. I’ve Tried My Best To Fix Things Over The Years Only To Be Rejected Because Your Wife Runs Your Life.”

David Flair — real name David R. Fliehr — is the registered agent of Green Flair Recycling, LLC, a recycling company formed in December 2014 in Shelby, North Carolina. The company appears to be the source of the trademark dispute.
