Add to ORKGIn June 2014, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) shocked football fans everywhere when it granted a petition to cancel six Washington Redskins trademark registrations. Filed by Navajo Amanda Blackhorse and four other Native Americans, the petition sought to cancel the registrations on the grounds that they disparaged the Native American people; all six of the registrations included the term “redskin”, and two included the team’s logo (a Native American chief).
