You can help convince the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to disallow the registration of the Trayvon Martin Trademarks by sending the USPTO the following email:
-----------------------------------------------------
Subject: Registration of TM Application SNs: 85575974 & 85575890
I am writing to register my objection to the registration of Trademark Applications serial numbers 85575974 & 85575890, the Trayvon Martin Trademarks as said applications plainly comprise immoral and scandalous matter. Under 15 USC §1052(a) (Section 2 of the Lanham Act), no trademark shall be registered that [c]onsists of or comprises immoral, deceptive, or scandalous matter. Therefore, these applications should be refused registration by the US Patent and Trademark Office.
Sincerely,
[Your Name and Contact Info]
-----------------------------------------------------
While such objection is considered informal and non-binding, it will draw scrutiny if the office receives enough emails.
Please tell a friend, tweet, post to facebook, or email.

Let the mom do it. Not only does it expose this tacky move, but it can start a little battle with all the groups trying to exploit his death. Wait until she goes after the Panthers or other groups for royalties.

My thoughts too. She can use whatever mark she wants, registered or not, as long as it doesn’t interfere with or dilute somebody else’s mark.

I don’t really care enough about the trademarking issue.
Let Momma make a dime off the kids name, if that is what she wants.
I could care less.
What I would like to see is a Federal case brought against the mother Truckers that have offered a dead or alive reward for the killing of Zimmerman.
These people should be arrested.
I know that’s dreaming, Holder & Obama probably put up the money for the reward.

It can take nine months for a mark to go through the registration process.

Becuase allowing the award of such a mark would be immoral.

Dude, I'm not with this. This prevents the mother from stopping people from cashing in on her son's name.
Uncool.

One thing that has been proven is that Trayvon with his gold teeth, tattoos,hoodie and his alleged criminal activity was quite immoral.
To: jmstein7
Becuase allowing the award of such a mark would be immoral. ...and people with no interest whatsoever in this challenging this transaction is somehow more moral? It is her karma, let her deal with it.

A lib group called “ THE WOMEN’S TRIAL GROUP” will be the ones to profit from these marks.

How does the mother intend to use these trademarks? If it is to prevent others from profiting from her son’s name, I am very much in favor of it. If she wishes herself to profit from it, then she will be seen as exploiting her own son.
To: jmstein7
It's immoral for liberals to make money from trademarked items?
Or it's immoral for people with ideas different than yours (and probably mine) to make money from trademarked items?
Or it's immoral for anyone to make money from trademarks related to people involved in the use or sale of illegal drugs? Elvis Presley took prescription drugs, amphetamines and barbiturates, prescribed by "Dr. Nick" for other members of the TCB group (which is illegal). Bob Marley certainly promoted the use of marijuana as a holy herb of Rastafarianism. Is there a place we can see about getting Presley and Marley trademarks revoked?

I really don't give a damn about this. If she wants to trademark this, let her.
All I care about here is a good investigation and correct decision based on actual facts.
