A civil rights victory
A U.S. Patent & Trademark Officer examiner argued that AAC could not use the Statue of Liberty as part as part of its logo because the examiner was retarded:
Can’t register trademark with Statue of Liberty holding silenced gun because that would be ‘shocking, offensive and disparaging’?
So argued a U.S. Patent & Trademark Officer examiner, in refusing to register the mark. Fortunately — though more than four years after the application was filed, and nearly two years after the initial hearing on appeal — the decision was reversed.

Wonder if that Whitehouse com porn company decision will get reversed now, too. Mmmm…! Silencers and porn! As American as apple pie!

WTF is up at the USPTO? That’s the second politically suspect decision out of there in the past month or so (the Redskins being the first one.)
