Talk:Pro-Football, Inc. v. Harjo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Court of Appeals opinion says nothing about the sufficiency of the evidence presented to the TTAB, and does not reverse the district court upon this ground.
The only issue the Court of Appeals deemed it necessary to address was the question of laches, and even there, it confined its analysis to the claim of laches as directed against only one of the petitioners, who was only 1 year old in 1967 when the trademark was adopted. The Court of Appeals remanded the case to the district court for further evaluation of the laches issue as to that individual petitioner, and that is all it did. The article portrays the decision as far broader than it actually was, and as resolving issues that the Court of Appeals did not discuss, much less resolve, at all.
