“The USPTO, via an administrative action last week, decided to drop the copyright and trademark protection of the word “Redskins” in an attempt to force the NFL team from using the word in its name.

For instance, the terrorist group overrunning Iraq has applied for and are expected to receive protection for the word “ISIS” now that they have a thriving merchandising business. “
