WHY WON’T THE USPTO ACCEPT THE KLAN’S APPLICATION FOR A TRADEMARK!?!?

Somebody alert HamNo. More proof that law school ain’t worth it.

PROTECTION IS THE FUNCTION OF A TRADEMARK. THE GOV’T IS NOT FORCING A NAME CHANGE THEY ARE REFUSING TO ENFORCE EXCLUSIVITY OVER THE NAME WHEN IT COMES TO MARKETING, MERCHANDISE ETC...

So you’re using your personal bias as a framing device for the issue and expecting that to play as evidence against the decision to revoke trademark protections. Got it.

Holy shit.

The government responded to pressure from the people. You don’t say? What a novel fucking concept.

So at once you criticize the rubber stamp as ineffectual, but once in place it is ironclad? Removing the trademark does not destroy commercial speech. The Skins can still sell merchandise. No one is entitled to trademark protections. They are issued and revoked ad hoc.

Those are only big words to a small mind.

If they had denied the trademark at the outset, how does that prevent the wailing and moaning or disingenuous free speech marks? By the logic of your argument, it’s only a free speech issue post rubber-stamp? That’s moronic.

No. By corollary, you are a dimwit.

The government doesn’t care if they change the name. They just won’t protect their profit margins.

Fuller disclosure: You’re an idiot too.

Or you are just a fucking nincompoop.

He’s a genius! He’s an idiot! He’s a genius! He’s an idiot! He’s a genius?

Next time don’t read it out loud.

It probably stops at censoring offensive trademarks.

Because NFL front offices are superficial and Wade looks like Droopy Dog with late stage Cushing’s Syndrome?

Anyone arguing against you is mistaking hindsight bias with baseball acumen. Everyone would’ve done it different once the outcome is known.

Hindsight bias.
