THE NAME "Soca Warriors" is now registered worldwide and persons using it for their own benefit can feel the full brunt of the law.
This was stated by Dennis Ramdeen, Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) Public Relations Committee, during a press conference at the VIP Lounge, Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo on Tuesday.
"The Germany 2006 company are saying that the footballers and the football must benefit from all of this success and what comes out of it," said Ramdeen. "There are people who will not follow the proper course in terms of use of the name (and) use of the logo and we have things in place to monitor that."
Ramdeen stressed that the TTFF intend, "to pull up people when we see that, either the logo or the use of the name is infringed.
"And it is only fair," he continued. "People who help football should benefit from football."
"There are sponsors who have paid handsome sums, like Carib, Busta, TSTT, KFC, Blue Waters to be a part of this," Ramdeen added.
"And we have to protect their rights as well. That’s how we see it," he ended.
