Justices strike down ban on offensive trademarks ruling for Slants
The Supreme Court unanimously invalidated part of the 71-year-old trademark law for disparaging marks, holding it violates the First Amendment. Slants founder Simon Tam welcomed the ruling, while Redskins advocates see it as resolving the long dispute over the team name. The ruling directs the USPTO to reassess trademark applications free from government viewpoints.
