New York Yankees star slugger Aaron Judge is fighting to keep a Long Island man from trademarking "All Rise" and "Here Comes the Judge" — two of his most popular catchphrases.

A bitter, four-year legal battle involving Aaron Judge is in the hands of a panel of judges, who soon will decide whether a Long Island man can make money off the Yankees slugger’s signature catchphrases — just as the superstar is making his case to become the highest-paid player in baseball history.

Michael P. Chisena says he beat Judge to the trademark office, so he owns the marketing rights to “All Rise” and “Here Comes the Judge,” popular phrases that have been connected to Judge. The superstar outfielder counters that he has inherent rights to the marketing of his name and these phrases, which have flooded media coverage of the Yankees since he arrived.
