[edit]

The Court of Appeals opinion says nothing about the sufficiency of the evidence presented to the TTAB, and does not reverse the district court upon this ground.

The only issue the Court of Appeals deemed it necessary to address was the question of laches, and even there, it confined its analysis to the claim of laches as directed against only one of the petitioners, who was only 1 year old in 1967 when the trademark was adopted. The Court of Appeals remanded the case to the district court for further evaluation of the laches issue as to that individual petitioner, and that is all it did. The article portrays the decision as far broader than it actually was, and as resolving issues that the Court of Appeals did not discuss, much less resolve, at all.

You're right. I've fixed the page accordingly. James Grimmelmann (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 01:53, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

District Court Opinion

[edit]

Although the case was ultimately decided upon procedural grounds (Laches), the District Court opinions are notable because they are an explication of an underdeveloped area of the law: 15USC1064 Cancellation on 15USC1052 "immoral, scandalous, or deceptive material" and/or "disparagement" grounds. This article should either develop this topic, or there should be a disambiguation page referencing the District Court opinions. The problem lies in the fact that the cases have essentially the same name,and are distinguished by their legal citation. This is a format that isn't entirely conducive to WikiPedia's naming conventions... 24.193.42.103 (talk) 17:43, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since all of the opinions relate to the same cause of action, there really should only be one article detailing what happened at all levels of the case. bd2412 T 18:27, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pro-Football, Inc. v. HarjoWashington Redskins trademark dispute – Since trademark issue has gone through many case titles while retaining the same issues, and will soon have another when the team appeals, the name of the article should be inclusive of all.

  • See both sides,

I think Pro-Football, Inc. v. Harjo should either be moved to the Washington Redskins trademark dispute or a new article created, Washington Redskins trademark dispute, along with the Blackhorse v. Pro-Football. User:cybermannCybermann (talk) 02:17, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
