This seems like something that shouldn't be legal for the government to do.

The way I read it was that you cannot offend to get a trade mark. The odd thing is the retro thing. As times times change I guess anything can be taken away as norms change about words and logos.

From what I understand, the appeal will require them to prove it isn't a slur. Good luck with that.

It sounds like the previous appeal won on a technicality because the plantiffs were too far removed from their 18th birthday.

It's ok for the government to torture suspects, hold people without trial indefinitely, illegally spy on its citizens, and overthrow foreign governments on faulty evidence. Glad they're righting at least one wrong. Geesh.
