"Redskins" win (again), for now
I've previously blogged about challenges to the trademark registration of the Washington "Redskins". Via How Appealing, the DC Circuit has once again affirmed the dismissal of plaintiffs' challenge to the trademark because of laches in the Harjo case (for a discussion of the issues, see this law.com piece). The court's decision is here. The decision does not touch on the substance of the plaintiffs' claims, which may yet be addressed in future litigation.
