The Patriot Post® · A Trademark Precedent

The government giveth, and the government taketh away. Chairman of the team of attorneys who filed the case against the Washington Redskins at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office told The Washington Post the case is “a milestone victory that will serve as an historic precedent.” Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) took to Twitter to cluck out, “Today’s great actions by the [U.S. Patent Office] show that slurs have no right to trademark protections. The DC football team must choose a new name.” Ah, where the winds of political correctness blow, the fist of government goes.
