So, will n5gooner be paying royalties for the use of the term?

Is it worth trying to trademark your username before someone else does it?

This was in today's Guardian:

Arsenal have applied to trademark the word "Gooner" for use on club merchandise ranging from bath linen to coats, boxer shorts and ear-muffs. The phrase, the colloquial term for an Arsenal fan, is the subject of an application filed to the UK Intellectual Property Office earlier this month, and will doubtless soon be appearing in the club superstore.
