The students at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Early College who created the podcast in 2020 will get to claim the trademark and continue making the podcast under that name
with a group of current and former Black students who created a podcast about racial injustice called “Know Justice, Know Peace” in the wake of the George Floyd murder.will get to claim the trademark and continue making the podcast under that name, while DPS will create a new podcast of its own.
A lawyer for DPS previously argued that because the podcast was made with district equipment and the guidance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Early College’s former principal, the district should own the rights to the production. DPS filed two federal and trademark applications and one in Colorado for “Know Justice, Know Peace” in August. The current and former students — Alana Mitchell, Jenelle Nangah and two minors who were not named — sued DPS in federal court in September, alleging the district tried to trademark and “steal” the students’ brand name.
When word got out about DPS applying for the trademark, Kass said community leaders and people from across the country wrote to the Denver school district in outrage. Will Jones, a spokesman for DPS, said the district is withdrawing its state and federal trademark patent applications to allow the students to file for and receive rights to the intellectual property.Related Articles
