SCOTUS Agrees to Hear Case Determining Federal Registrability of Immoral and Scandalous Trademarks

Director Monica Riva Talley and Counsel Dana N. Justus discuss the U.S. Supreme Court’s agreement to hear Iancu v. Brunetti in the article, “SCOTUS Agrees to Hear Case Determining Federal Registrability of Immoral and Scandalous Trademarks,” published by The Intellectual Property Strategist. The editor notes, “Many U.S. trademark attorneys were surprised in early January when the Supreme Court of the United States agreed to hear Iancu v. Brunetti. This case should determine the availability of federal trademark registration for “immoral” and “scandalous” marks – in this case, the acronym “FUCT” for a clothing line.”
