The decades-long controversy over the Washington Redskins' name has hit a climax. On Wednesday, June 18, the United States Patent and Trademark *******canceled (http://thinkprogress.org/default/2014/06/18/3450333/in-landmark-decision-us-patent-******-cancels-trademark-for-redskins-football-team/)*six federal trademark registrations for the team's name and logo, calling the name "disparaging to Native Americans." The *******can't (http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?p**=92046185&pty=CAN&e**=199)*stop the team from using the name, but it can (at least pending a court reversal) bar the right to registration protections.
This is the second time the ****** has issued such a judgment. The first time was as part of a case that began in 1992, but that decision was appealed by the team and ultimately overruled by a federal court*due in part to a lack of substantial evidence that the name is disparaging.
