I guess they didn't say "okay". They just disagreed on the scope of what the Govt can control.
In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court today struck down a provision of the Lanham Act that prohibited trademark registration for marks deemed “immoral” or “scandalous.” This is a win for Eric Brunetti, whose trademark for a streetwear brand, FUCT, had been rejected on these grounds.
Makes me wonder what other trademarks might be registered now that some of the restrictions are removed. =)
