that are “scandalous” or “immoral.” Brunetti says it should be struck down as an unconstitutional restriction on speech.
Brunetti and others like him who are denied trademark registration under the “scandalous” provision can still use the words they wanted to register for their business, nonprofit or brand. They just don’t get the benefits that come with registering a trademark. For Brunetti, that would largely mean a better ability to go after counterfeiters who knock off his designs.invalidated a related provision
In court, the justices had no trouble saying the band’s name, but Brunetti’s brand may be different. His lawyer, John R. Sommer, says he plans to say the individual letters of the name, “F-U-C-T,” which Brunetti sometimes does too. Another possible workaround: explaining the brand is something of an acronym for “Friends U Can’t Trust.”
If Brunetti wins, the public is unlikely to notice a whole lot of change, his lawyer said. Retailers will decide what products are appropriate for their customers, and Target and Walmart aren’t going to carry Brunetti’s brand, Sommer said.

The people of Phuket, Thailand must be on pins and needles
MW43681339 I haven't seen their shirts in decades. Seems like a weird time to take this to court now.
Funny that his 'brand' is doing this now. I remember this crap hanging in skate shops in the 90's. He is still doing the same thing. Ripping off other people's work and calling himself a 'designer'. At least Marc Milecofsky (Ecko) was/is an actual artist.
Simple, rugged, carefree chic
He wants a trademark to stop people from ripping off his designs ... which are parodies of multi-million dollar concerns. Not sure if that’s more ironic or moronic.
Sad he doesn’t have enough talent to make it work without publicity stunts.
Is that Billy Ray Cyrus
I don't like it, but 1st amendment
I'm all for free speech, but that is uneccessary. i dont my 7 year old saying it, or my 14 year old.
Really? You’re an artist and used all your artistic talent to come up with that brand?
Tacky....yes. Illegal...no. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. I won’t waste my money on it.
At first, I thought it was cool everyone mistook me for Billy Ray. Now everybody hates me. I’m FUCT
Go fuct yourself terrible idea
That's petroleos mexicanos logo wtf
Thanks, Pauline Kael.
I have seen that eagle before...
FUCT has already been copyrighted by my golf game.
Maybe they should seek a model or Ad Agency help also...?
Somebody needs to show these humans who's boss
It's literally the current state of our country. I find it very apropos. P.S. FUCT I'd gladly wear your trucker hats in all of my weather reports from tha hood. Hook a sista up. justsaying
I don't get it? Sorry. One of those who have to sound it out phonetically. F.U.C.T, Oh! FUCT! Please😒 I've seen worse on tee-shirts, Bill boards, and the news. One more FUCT won't hurt the fashion industry. Good luck🙏🇺🇸🌎
They are using the PEMEX logo?
What if someone wants name a toilet brand The Islam Shttr ? This would open the door for many things. And none of them good.
Is this actually a thing?
It becomes more evident each day that we all are living an 'Idiocracy' nightmare and we are never going to wake up.
Kavanaugh is familiar with the fff-word. Flatulence.
If their whole case is “we want people to think ‘is that how it’s pronounced?’” then please dismiss it and get out of the news.
In other news NOT from The Onion...

Gun-maker to ask Supreme Court to hear Sandy Hook appealHARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Facing a newly revived wrongful death lawsuit in Connecticut over the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, gun-maker Remington is going to the U.S. Supreme Court to argue it can't be sued because of a much-debated federal law that shields firearms manufacturers from liability It makes absolutely no sense to sue Remington. Can I sue Pepsi for making me fat? The person pulling the trigger is held accountable period. This is nonsense.

Gun-maker to ask Supreme Court to hear Sandy Hook appealMaker of the rifle used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting intends to ask Supreme Court to hear appeal of a Connecticut court ruling that reinstated a wrongful death lawsuit against the company filed by victims' relatives. Yea see thats a bunch of bs ..sure sue every gun maker that has ever made a gun that was used in a crime..no gun makes would be around they would be Broke beside sandy hook was bs that never even happened..so what's the point oh yea they have to keep up appearances I think the police at Sandy Hook should make the gun manufacturer view the crime scene photographs. Obamacare for the first time requires mental health coverage. The same access to mental health the NRA and GOP claim is needed every time we have a mass shooting. The GOP has no plan and never did.

Supreme Court revisits wedding cakes and same-sex marriagesThe Supreme Court's conservatives have invited religious Christians to argue that their constitutional right to the 'free exercise of religion' should provide an exemption from civil rights laws that require equal service for all, without regard to sexual orientation. A tax free license to discriminate? Sounds about right. It should. If someone asked me to celebrate their recent abortion by making a cake depicting a knife sticking out of a fetus, I wouldn't do it, nor should I be forced to by a lawsuit. well we've got a crazy Supreme Court, with 2 judges who have assulted women, I would B surprised whatever they rule, just a joke!
