This cannot be patented. If anything It would be trademarkable, but it is certainly not. It would come down to the specific area in which you where trying to protect the mark...
The only thing patent related would be some sort of design patent, but again I dont see how this would in any way relate to the term oj.
In regards to IP. Literature is copywritten, Marks and symbols (most of the time) are limited to trademarks. Design patents however are slightly more vast in what can be claimed.
As far as I know...

This looks like a question for aceofspades or another lawyer among us.
Here's my answer based on my one Business Law class I took. Take it only as that, nothing more.
My understanding is that "OJ" could possibly be trademarked, but not by an orange juice producer. A name that is merely descriptive or generic cannot be trademarked. If someone wanted to start a clothing store called "O.J.", that would probably be fine.

Casinos are not your friends, they want your money. But so does Disneyland.
And there is no chance in hell that you will go to Disneyland and come back with more money than you went with.

No, you cannot patent a word. Gene Simmons cannot get a trademark on a word that is already in common usage. If Gene Simmons invented the word OJ and trademarked it, he lost the trademark because the word has become generic.

Well, you can. Apple, for example. Jockey, for another.

Nothing about Apple relates to actual apples. Anyone can similarly trademark Apple, so long as it doesn't relate to apples or computers. I'm assuming the question posed is OJ patented as in orange juice.
1) No, because you cannot patent a word.
2) No, because you cannot trademark a word in common use AS IT RELATES TO THAT USAGE.
if you wanna sell knives, gloves, and broncos, and name your company OJ, you can get a trademark.

Wait a sec...
Does nobody here know about the battles between The Beatles record label Apple Records and Apple Computers?

FWIW;
We were able to successfully copyright and Trademark the name "One for the Money" for our poker game. It did not conflict with the two most common usages, both protected:
The first line of "Blue Suede Shoes".
The first book by Janet Evanovich of the bestselling series.
So, (All in my opinion only) I found the original question vague; trademarking OJ as pertains to orange juice is already in the public domain. I think OJ Simpson also has some protections. But, as someone said, if you called a line of clothing OJ, it wouldn't conflict with either to my knowledge. And if you called a table game "OJ", unless it's already out there somehow, it wouldn't conflict. I don't know what the OP's intent was.

Ok. We agree. I thought in your OP, you were implying Gene Simmons could only trademark "OJ" if he coined it himself.

Googling that turns up other, equally dubious claims that Gene Simmons has patented the dollar sign. Sounds like Gene Simmons being Gene Simmons to me.

The answer is NO. I think of everyone, I did the best job of proving this and deserve a reward...maybe Deucekies too. How do you provide conclusive evidence of a falsehood? Gene Simmons did not patent or trademark OJ. Do you require the patent # for this nonexistent patent? Your question specifically asks for a patent. It is legally impossible for someone to patent a word or phrase. A trademark is exceptionally unlikely, but not quite impossible...but that's not your question!
I take it by your continued persistence for a 'definitive' answer and an offer of a reward, despite quite definitive answers, that you wagered he did patent OJ and u will be the loser. Regardless, I still want a monetary reward.
