Government Can't Refuse Disparaging Trademarks, Supreme Court Rules

http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/Supreme-Court-Government-Cant-Refuse-Disparaging-Trademarks-429398263.html

        The Supreme Court says the government can't refuse to register
        trademarks that are considered offensive.  The ruling Monday
        is a win for an Asian-American rock band called the Slants,
        and it gives a major boost to the Washington Redskins in their
        separate legal fight over the team name.
