Dez Bryant -- My Twitter Hashtag ... Deserves a Trademark

From:	<TMZ.com

EXCLUSIVE

Dez Bryant is gunning to trademark his famous Twitter hashtag -- #ThrowUpTheX" -- in an effort to make sure he controls the use of his slogan on social media ... TMZ Sports has learned. 

FYI -- the Dallas Cowboys star has been throwing up an "X" signal with his arms as a TD celebration for years ... and it's become his signature move with fans who often tweet pics of themselves to Dez "throwing up the X."

Now, we've learned Dez has filed documents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office ... looking to trademark #ThrowUpTheX for use in "news bulletins."

We did some digging ... and essentially, the "news bulletins" category covers computer software and other digital platforms that seems to cover social media. 

So why trademark a hashtag? We spoke with Dez's rep who says they want to make sure no one else can take the hashtag and use it for unapproved non-Dez related activities. 

Bryant has also started a "Throw Up The X" clothing line ... and we're told he hopes to grow the brand the same way Michael Jordan grew "Jordan Brand" ... eventually signing other stars to endorsement deals. 

Currently, the trademark for #ThrowUpTheX is pending -- and could take months until officials make a decision.

Stay tuned ...

His father was short and fat and very tricky. He had a reputation for cheating people. He was also a money lender who demanded very high interest. Bawa was a replica of his father in every way, in appearance and character except that Bawa was more considerate. He could take pity on others itcr hoodwinking them. Garba did not like him much "Really?" Sule asked. "I hope it will be all right if I go with you." "You don't have to," Bawa said. "You know if he takes more than expected, the master would know he took his milk." "It's not bad if we shared whatever Yakubu gives us with our fellows," Tanko said. "Garba can even get from it," Sule said. Bawa made a face. "Look at you, Sule, you have......
