DARTS champ Luke Littler plans to become a sporting icon in the US, documents reveal.
The 18-year-old has applied to have his name and nickname The Nuke trademarked in America.
He has filed documents with the US Patent and Trademark Office for protection to sell goods such as clothes, sporting goods, luggage, books, and even food and drink.
He is already a millionaire after shooting to fame at 16 as runner-up in the 2024 World Darts Championship.
He then won the title in January.
His latest move will prevent bootleggers from using his moniker and cashing in on his fame.
One expert told us: “It grants the owner exclusive rights.”
The Warrington-born whiz kid already has similar trademark protection in the UK.
Luke has been in the States in recent days.
He was among the headline attractions at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York last weekend as the world’s top players went Stateside for the US Darts Masters.
However, his campaign ended at the quarter-final stage by his good friend and stablemate Nathan Aspinall, who triumphed 6-4 against the teenager.
