even still sue for trademark

such a case could prove more
complex without the legal
protections that come with a

Lee said the legal
standard for canceling the
registration is whether the
name “may disparage” a
substantial composite of the
Native American commu-

maintained that the name
honors Native Americans —
citing evidence that Native
American high schools have
adopted it as a team name
— Lee said there is ample
evidence that the name may
be perceived as disparaging.
He cited the fact that Native
