The Law Ep 43 -- The FUCT trademark case - Iancu v Brunetti (2019)

Show Notes:  The Lanham Act prohibited the federal registration of trademarks deemed “immoral” or “scandalous.” This provision kept Erik Brunetti from registering the name of his clothing line, FUCT. He argued that prohibiting trademark registration of his company name violated the First Amendment. The U.S. Supreme Court agreed with him and struck down that provision of the federal statute. He can now officially trademark FUCT.
