The United States Trademark Office has a policy against trademark applications that contain disparaging terms.
That includes vulgar words or descriptions, and even racist remarks.
With that in mind, the USPTO canceled several registered trademarks owned by the Washington Redskins.
As the “redskin” term was declared to be a racist reference to Native Americans, the USPTO acted upon it; however, the Washington Redskins fought back.
In an 82 page document, the Washington Redskins chastise the USPTO actions by providing a plethora of registered trademarks that contain heavily vulgar or disparaging terms.
Here’s a list of these registered marks from the document, that might get your skin all red – pun intended: đ
- GUN CONTROL MY ASS
