Wolves of Washington

Has a good ring to it

And just a day after this case - Seems the Redskins are now able appeal the above decision.

The Supreme Court Just Overhauled the U.S. Patent Regime. Here’s What It Means.

I don't really think they'd let such a massive hint about the name choice leak out.
Again, they talked again and again about the long renaming process etc... they're just protecting their options IMO.

They are using and marketing WFT this year, so they would be dumb not to try to trademark it, not to mention that they were Division Champs last year so getting WFT trademarks are already a bit behind the curve.

That tells you they are seriously considering keeping the name, but they will need to get creative.. Maybe Washington DC Football Club or something

Yeah that is how many are assessing it. Depends on the effects of this decision - a few are saying the rejection is a show stopper and while others are saying it's macht nichts.

Since he and Dan have that in common, they should relate and work on a deal….

Nah, he did it for the same reasons everybody else does everything: money. Not sure of the specifics but if he's a "notorious trademark squatter" he must be making good money from repeatedly doing it.

I don't really get how it's possible. Isn't there/shouldn't there be some sort of law or regulation stipulating a trademark has to be done in good faith/in fairness ? Could easily be bypassed, but those obviously unfair trademarks could be avoided IMO.
