Immoral and Scandalous Trademarks

We are covering the issue of immoral and scandalous trademarks and focus on what are they today and what will the future hold for those trademarks. We will cover precedent decisions in the US such as REDSKINS-SLANTS and IANCU-BRUNETTI. We will also look at the recent decision FACK JU GOHTE from the EU. Joining us in the discussion is Colin Manning, Lecturer at the Cork Institute of Technology and an EU trademark attorney. Colin has written his thesis on "The Moral Bars on Trade Mark Registration" https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2875687
