Washington Redskins Trademark Registrations are Cancelled

Today the United States Patent and Trademark Office cancelled six of the Washington Redskins’ trademarks, all of which involved the term “redskins.”  The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) concluded that “Redskins” was disparaging of Native Americans.

The full opinion of the TTAB can be found here.

The USPTO also issued a media fact sheet explaining what the decision means and what the decision does not mean.
