He doesn't need to. And I'm not his or your or Clarkson's lawyer. He can make a grab and take the sub, and if JC both gives a shit *and* has the legal means and opportunities at his disposal (as a public figure he may *or may not* have a claim to the name) he can react. Trademark requires existence, acknowledgement, assertion, and response; it is not preemptive.
