N/S PTO rules that "Redskins" is derogatory (not a case about the NFL team but likely precedent)

even though they have been "allowed to operate" for how many years???

Why all of a sudden now they want to go after the owner/NFL , whoever..after all these years? Just sayin...

Do you even understand anything about what's happening here? So if the DMV refuses to allow somebody to get a drivers' license because they can't pass the drivers test, that qualifies as the government meddling in private lives?

Trademarks are an operation of civil law that protect a business's interests. There are standards to be eligible for a trademark. It's a government agency that hears those applications. If the business doesn't want the protection of a recognized trademark, it doesn't have to apply for it.

But if a business does apply for it and the agency determines that the application doesn't meet the eligibility standards, that's "meddling"? That's an "attack"?

Let's go back and take another civics class. Pay attention this time.
