Campus speech codes endangered by Supreme Court trademark ruling: legal experts
|
h/t Instapundit
The fight against restrictive college speech codes might have received new ammunition from an unlikely pair: trademark law and fashion.
The Supreme Court struck down the U.S Patent and Trademark Office’s prohibition of "immoral or scandalous" names in trademarks. The 6-3 majority opinion by Justice Elena Kagan took issue with the Lanham Act for making viewpoint-based determinations, and thus infringing on First Amendment rights.
A law professor and civil-liberties group separately told The College Fix that the decision in favor of fashion company FUCT is a boon for lawsuits against campus speech codes, bias response teams and other college policies that punish the content of speech.
