That's the one. Used during his time at Marvel Comics and imitated since, the abbreviation of 'enough said' has become as associated with him as Excelsior, Face Front True Believer and 'with great power must come great responsibility'… and yes everyone's had a go at trademarking them as well.

Most trademarks are, however, registered for very specific fields of use. 'Nuff said'? Not so much… here's a list of everything Pow Entertainment has applied for:
