Justices say law on offensive trademarks is unconstitutional
WASHINGTON
(AP)
— The Supreme Court on
Monday struck down part
of a law that bans offensive
trademarks, ruling in favor of
an Asian-American rock band
from Portland called the Slants
and giving a major boost to
the Washington Redskins in
their separate legal fight over
the team name.
The justices were unan-
imous in saying that the
71-year-old trademark law
barring disparaging terms
infringes free speech rights
guaranteed in the Constitu-
tion’s First Amendment.
“It offends a bedrock
First Amendment principle:
Speech may not be banned on
the ground that it expresses
ideas that offend,” Justice
Samuel Alito said in his
opinion for the court.
Slants founder Simon
Tam tried to trademark the
band name in 2011, but the
U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office denied the request on
the ground that it disparages
Asians. A federal appeals
court in Washington later
said the law barring offensive
trademarks is unconstitutional
and the Supreme Court
agreed.
The Redskins made similar
arguments after the trademark
office ruled in 2014 that the
name offends American
Indians and canceled the
team’s trademark. That case,
before a federal appeals court
in Richmond, had been on
hold while the Supreme Court
considered the Slants case.
Tam insisted he was not
trying to be offensive, but
“A law that can be directed against
speech found offensive to some
portion of the public can be turned
against minority and dissenting views
to the detriment of all.”
— Anthony Kennedy, Supreme Court justice

In this 2016 file photo, a Washington Redskins helmet
is seen on the sidelines during the first half of an NFL
football game against the Dallas Cowboys in Landover,
Md. The Supreme Court on Monday struck down part
of a law that bans offensive trademarks in a ruling that
is expected to help the Washington Redskins in their
legal fight over the team name.
wanted to transform a derisive
term into a statement of pride.
The Redskins also contend
their name honors American
Indians, but the team has faced
decades of legal challenges
from Indian groups that say
the name is racist.
Tam said the band was
“beyond
humbled
and
thrilled” with the ruling.
“This journey has always
been much bigger than our
band: it’s been about the rights
of all marginalized communi-
ties to determine what’s best
for ourselves,” he said.
Despite intense public
pressure to change the
Redskins name, team owner
Dan Snyder has refused,
saying in the past that it
“represents honor, respect
and pride” for Native Amer-
icans. Snyder issued a quick
statement after Monday’s
decision: “I am THRILLED.
Hail to the Redskins.”
Redskins attorney Lisa
Blatt said the court’s deci-
sion effectively resolves
the Redskins’ longstanding
dispute with the government.
“The Supreme Court
vindicated the team’s position
that the First Amendment
blocks the government from
denying or cancelling a trade-
mark registration based on the
government’s opinion,” Blatt
said.
Trademark
office
spokesman Paul Fucito said
officials are reviewing the
court’s ruling and planned to
issue further guidance on how
they will review trademark
applications.
Indian groups opposing the
Redskins said the ruling does
not change the fact that the
name “is a dictionary-defined
racial slur.”
“If the NFL wants to live up
to its statements about placing
importance on equality, then
it shouldn’t hide behind these
rulings, but should act to end
this hateful and degrading
slur,” said a joint statement
from the National Congress
of American Indians and the
group Change the Mascot.
The ruling means offen-
sive trademarks can no longer
be denied, even for names that
intend to disparage individ-
uals or groups of people, said
Megan Carpenter, dean at the
University of New Hampshire
School of Law and an expert
on trademark law.
While the justices all
agreed on the outcome, they
split in their rationale. Alito
rejected arguments that the
government has an interest
in preventing speech that is
offensive to certain groups.
“Speech that demeans on
the basis of race, ethnicity,
gender, religion, age, disability,
or any other similar ground
is hateful; but the proudest
boast of our free speech juris-
prudence is that we protect
the freedom to express the
thought we hate,” Alito said
in a part of his opinion joined
by Chief Justice John Roberts
and Justices Clarence Thomas
and Stephen Breyer.
Writing separately, Justice
Anthony Kennedy stressed
that the ban on disparaging
trademarks was a clear form
of viewpoint discrimination
forbidden under the First
Amendment.
“A law that can be directed
against speech found offen-
sive to some portion of the
public can be turned against
minority and dissenting
views to the detriment of all,”
Kennedy said in an opinion
joined by Justices Ruth Bader
Ginsburg, Sonya Sotomayor
and Elena Kagan.
Justice Neil Gorsuch took
no part in the case, which was
argued before he joined the
court.
Government officials said
the law did not infringe on
free speech rights because the
band was still free to use the
name even without trademark
protection. The same is true
for the Redskins, but the team
did not want to lose the legal
protections that go along with
a registered trademark. The
protections include blocking
the sale of counterfeit
merchandise and working to
pursue a brand development
strategy.
Critics of the law said the
trademark office has been
wildly inconsistent over the
years in deciding what terms
are too offensive to warrant
trademark protection. The
government has in the past
rejected trademarks for the
terms “Heeb” and “Injun,” but
allowed those for companies
such as Baked By A Negro
bakery products, Midget Man
condoms, and Dago Swagg
clothing.
Museum-housed lamprey released into Umatilla
BEND (AP) — Two
Pacific
lampreys
have
been released back into the
Umatilla River after spending
months at the High Desert
Museum in Central Oregon.
The Bulletin reports the
museum housed the fish in
partnership with the Confed-
erated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation, which is
trying to prevent the lamprey
from becoming an endan-
gered species.
Associate curator Jessica
Stewart says the museum
plans to regularly house and
release lampreys, making
them a consistent attraction.
She says their presence has
helped educate the public
about fish that are a critical
part of the ecosystem.
Pacific lampreys were
historically abundant in the
Upper Deschutes watershed,
but their population has
declined because of dams.
Through the work of
the tribes, more have made
it upstream this year. The
tribes collect lampreys at
Willamette Falls and Bonne-
ville Dam, and drive them to
rivers and streams in Eastern
Oregon.
