Joel Embiid's pending trademark for "The Process" was officially granted on Tuesday in the wake of the Philadelphia 76ers' heartbreaking season ender.

According to documents from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the trademark can be used for apparel, like shirts, sweatpants, shorts, sweatpants, hats and flip flops.
And that's not the only one. Other active trademark applications — there are 20 others — include one for non-alcoholic, pre-mixed bottled Shirley Temple drinks (the center's favorite), children's books and rubber bracelets.
