In this episode, host Tom Dunlap discusses the landmark Supreme Court case, Matal v. Tam, and its profound implications on trademark law and free speech.

Join Tom as he unpacks the intricacies of trademark regulations, the concept of commercial speech, and how this case has reshaped legal precedents and cultural dialogues around offensive trademarks.

On this day in legal history, November 1, 1943, the federal Office of Price Administration implemented rent control in New York City.This day in legal history marks a crucial transition in the regulatory landscape of New York City's housing market. In 1943, amidst the economic upheavals of World War II, the Federal Office of Price Administration took a decisive step to mitigate the inflationary pressures of a wartime economy by issuing regulations that froze rents in New York City at the levels of March 1, 1943. This action, borne out of the Emergency Price Control Act (EPCA) signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942, sought to create a balance in a market where resources were overwhelmingly directed towards the war effort, including housing which was now a scarce yet essential commodity.The federal initiative on rent control was a precursor to a more localized approach that would follow in the ensuing years. As the war concluded and the Emergency Price Control Act was allowed to expire on June 30, 1947, it paved the way for the Federal Housing and Rent Act of 1947, which commenced on July 1 of the same year. This new legislation maintained controls on pre-1947 buildings while exempting new constructions post February 1, 1947, a demarcation that still plays a significant role in determining the control status of housing accommodations in both New York State and City.As the federal reins loosened, the State of New York foresaw the need to institute its own set of rent regulations to address the ongoing housing shortage. This foresight led to the establishment of the Temporary State Housing Rent Commission in 1950, tasked with the responsibility of regulating rental housing. The transition from federal to state control was marked by a legislative effort to freeze rents at the level effective on March 1, 1950, giving the commission ample time to devise a comprehensive rent control plan for New York. The legislation of 1951, which closely mirrored the federal regulatory framework, signified the State's commitment to preserving a semblance of stability and fairness in the rental housing market amidst the changing economic tides.The enactment and evolution of rent control laws were not merely a response to economic conditions but an exemplification of governance adapting to the exigencies of the times. Approximately 2,500,000 rental units came under state control, with about 85% of these units located in New York City, underlining the magnitude of the initiative. The establishment of local rent offices across the State further institutionalized the mechanism of rent regulation, ensuring that the delicate balance between the interests of owners and tenants was judiciously maintained. The saga of rent control from federal to state jurisdiction illuminates the intricacies of legal and economic interplay in shaping the lived experiences of New Yorkers.The U.S. Supreme Court is set to examine the legality of a trademark application for the phrase "Trump Too Small" made by California attorney Steve Elster, amidst objections from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. This case emerges as a notable dispute exploring the boundaries between trademarks and constitutional free-speech rights. The trademark, intended for use on T-shirts, is seen by Elster as a means to critique former President Donald Trump's governing style, with its roots in a 2016 debate exchange concerning Trump's hand size. The Patent and Trademark Office initially denied the application, referencing a 1946 law that restricts the use of an individual's name in a trademark without consent. However, a federal appeals court later supported Elster, positing that constitutional free-speech protections outweighed the cited privacy and publicity rights of public figures in this scenario.Now, as the matter escalates to the Supreme Court, the justices are to consider the appeals court's reversal and the larger interplay of free-speech rights within trademark law. The Court's decision, anticipated by June's end, follows its recent trend of overturning trademark laws on free-speech grounds, as seen in cases concerning the rock band The Slants and artist Erik Brunetti. The Biden administration argues that the current law differs as it aims to prevent exploitation of names for commercial gain, rather than restricting viewpoint-based speech. They note that while the law doesn't bar Elster from using the phrase, it considers the trademark as a "condition on a government benefit, not a restriction on speech." On the flip side, Elster contends that such a law could be misused by public figures to suppress criticism, pointing out inconsistencies in trademark approvals for political phrases. The outcome of this case could potentially redefine the intersection of trademark law and free speech, particularly as it pertains to public figures and political discourse.US Supreme Court to determine legality of 'Trump Too Small' trademark | ReutersThe fraud trial concerning Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange, is nearing its conclusion as closing arguments are scheduled to be presented. This follows a year after FTX's bankruptcy which led to a significant financial market shock and wiped out Bankman-Fried's estimated $26 billion fortune. U.S. prosecutors have charged him with committing a monumental financial fraud, allegedly stealing $8 billion from customers, marking one of the largest financial frauds in U.S. history. Bankman-Fried pleaded not guilty to the charges and even took to the stand in his own defense, facing rigorous cross-examination from prosecutors.Over the course of the trial, which included 15 days of testimony, key accusations came from three of Bankman-Fried's former close associates who, after pleading guilty, testified against him. They claimed he directed them to carry out financial crimes, including misappropriating FTX customer deposits and misleading lenders and investors regarding the financial health of FTX and his other venture, Alameda Research. Prosecutors argue that the misappropriated funds were used to settle debts, make speculative investments, and contribute to U.S. political campaigns. They also accuse Bankman-Fried of false advertising to attract customers to FTX, by misrepresenting the safety of their funds and the financial health of the exchange.In his defense, Bankman-Fried portrayed himself as a busy CEO who delegated operational details to subordinates, admitting to mistakes but denying any fraudulent intent or theft. However, the prosecution sought to challenge this narrative by highlighting discrepancies in his statements regarding the safety of customer funds and the independence of Alameda from FTX. The trial, reflecting high stakes for Bankman-Fried who could face a long prison term if convicted, underscores the ongoing scrutiny and regulatory challenges surrounding the cryptocurrency sector. The case now awaits the closing arguments, and the jury's deliberation is expected to commence thereafter, marking a significant moment in cryptocurrency legal jurisprudence.Sam Bankman-Fried's trial on FTX fraud charges heads to closing arguments | ReutersDonald Trump Jr. is slated to testify in a civil fraud trial in New York against his father, former President Donald Trump, accused of inflating asset values to deceive lenders and insurers. Being an executive vice president at the Trump Organization, Donald Jr. is a co-defendant in the case and will be the first among Trump's adult children to testify, followed by Eric and Ivanka Trump. The testimony comes amidst Donald Trump's ongoing campaign for the 2024 presidential election, where he appears to be leading among Republican candidates.The lawsuit, initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleges that Trump, along with his two adult sons and certain family businesses, inflated their assets by billions to secure favorable loan terms. While Trump denies the allegations, claiming political bias on part of James and the presiding judge, he has also faced fines for violating a limited gag order related to the case.Furthermore, Trump has encountered other legal hurdles, including four separate criminal prosecutions concerning attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat. The civil fraud trial also featured testimony from Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who claimed Trump directed him to inflate asset values.The case extends beyond mere allegations, as prior to the trial, a ruling found Trump had fraudulently inflated his net worth, leading to an order for the dissolution of several of his companies, though this ruling is currently on hold pending appeal. The trial now primarily focuses on determining damages, with James seeking at least $250 million in fines, a business operation ban in New York for Trump and his sons, and a five-year commercial real estate ban against Trump and the Trump Organization.This trial, marked by sharp legal exchanges and significant testimonies, could have substantial financial and legal repercussions for the Trump family, and potentially political implications amidst the upcoming presidential election campaign.Donald Trump Jr. to testify at father's civil fraud trial | ReutersThe National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) has announced that three states will begin administering a new version of the bar exam starting July 2026, with two additional states committed to adopting the new format in the future. Maryland, Missouri, and Oregon are the pioneering states for the new bar exam, named the Next Gen bar exam, which is set to debut in July 2026. Following them, Wyoming plans to transition to the Next Gen exam in July 2027, while Connecticut has also decided to adopt the new exam, albeit without a specified transition date.This development is significant as it marks the first major overhaul of the national bar exam in 25 years. The revamped Next Gen exam aims to emphasize legal skills over rote memorization of laws, distinguishing itself from the current exam format which comprises three separate components. The new format will also be shorter, spanning nine hours compared to the current 12-hour test, making it a less daunting endeavor for aspiring legal professionals.However, the transition has faced resistance from some states; notably, Florida and Pennsylvania have opted not to adopt the Next Gen exam when it becomes available. The hesitancy or outright rejection from such states, which have a high number of bar examinees, hints at the challenges faced by the NCBE in advocating for a uniform transition to the new exam format.The NCBE had initially intended to cease offering the current Uniform Bar Exam in July 2027, effectively providing a one-year window for states to decide between the two exams. However, on October 25, the NCBE amended this decision, extending the availability of both exams through February 2028 to allow states more time for transition. Additionally, the NCBE plans to reintroduce family law to the list of subjects tested on the Next Gen exam from July 2028 onwards.The new model is lauded by officials like Oregon State Bar President Lee Ann Donaldson, who believes it will ensure new attorneys are "practice-ready" upon joining the bar. This transition comes amidst the ongoing efforts by the NCBE to educate individual states about the benefits of the updated exam, underscoring the importance of preparing the next generation of attorneys for practical legal challenges.New bar exam catches on in five states | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

During the past 30 years there's been a growing list of pop and rock musicians trying their hand at musical theater. And they range in style and scope from artists like Cindy Lauper, Dolly Parton, and Elton John to rock bands like The Who, Green Day, and The Go-Go's. Well, today's guest has been venturing into musical theater and is from a band you may not have heard of, but their name is certainly one you're not likely to forget: The Slants. Simon Tam, founder and bassist of the all-Asian rock band, has recently begun a transition from rock star to musical writer, and he shares why this new artistic endeavor is so important to him. But his path up till now has taken some surprising turns... We talk about the bullying he faced as a child just because he's Chinese. He gives the reasons why he and the band turned down not one but two million-dollar contracts. And then there's the famous eight-year trademark battle that ultimately landed him and the band's name at the Supreme Court. It's what has branded Simon as a Troublemaker -- a name he now wears as a badge of honor. Timeline of this episode and relevant weblinks: 01:49 - Welcome and Simon talks about the impact of theater 06:11 - Story #1: Being bullied at a young age 10:03 - Asian racism and his parent's struggles 14:28 - Story #2: The trademark battle and the Supreme Court 24:15 - The impact of the court case on the band 33:51 - Story #3: Turning down million-dollar contracts 46:29 - An NPR feature that put The Slants on the map 48:52 - The growth and reach of The Slants Foundation   Subscribe to WINMI and get Bonus Episodes   OR Make a one-time Donation to the podcast     Stop Bullying Bullying has been part of school, and even workplaces, for years. Sometimes it involves physical attacks and intimidation or verbal attacks like what Simon had to deal with when he was young (name calling, teasing, and taunting). But it can also be indirect, such as spreading rumors or trying to make others reject someone. More recently, though, technology and social media have created a new venue for bullying that has expanded its reach. Cyberbullying happens online like YouTube, Instagram, and Snapchat, where bullies can send hurtful, ongoing messages 24 hours a day. Adult bullying is a thing, too.  Preventing and stopping bullying involves a commitment to creating a safe environment where children can thrive, socially and academically, without being afraid. The same can be said of theaters, rehearsal rooms, on-set, and backstage as well and the importance of providing dependable, non-toxic conditions to do the best work possible. Studies done from the early 2000s found that 30 percent of Americans will be bullied over the course of their careers.      Audition Story The Slants took band membership very seriously, and Simon used to make candidates applying for my band fill out a 4 page questionnaire, then audition on stage in an empty venue while being filmed.

Fiction from NonBinary Review Issue #29: In Motion

Michael Kearns, bass guitarist for the alternative rock band Slants, talks about the band's upcoming tour of Canada, their new album and the unique approach they take to music.

About 40 people joined Dawn and special guest, Rachel Scanlon in The Glendale Room for a night of comedy, history and Lesbians!Not included in the recording, was the first part of the live show which featured stand-up comedy from Ryan Ripple [Guest from 'THE F WORD - EP. 6 &7] and Rachel Scanlon. We learned a lot about Rachel during her set, including that she has hit some impressive weight-loss milestones over the past year.Listeners join the live audience as Dawn and Rachel sit down together on a lush love-seat, surrounded by books and prepare themselves for the HILF-ing ahead:---EPISODE BREAKDOWN---00:04:00 - Dawn brings everyone up to speed on how the two first met - and why it felt like love at first sight. Rachel tells us about a recent adventure she had with her mom - during which they ate cannabis and talked about sex! Dawn discusses her relationship with homosexuality, and when she realized she was straight. 00:13:14 - Dawn lays out her plan for the HILF-ing of Lesbians: to begin with the first historical reference and then a few of her favorite moments that bring us right up to today.  00:14:04 - CHAPTER ONE: The OG Lesbian, Sappho of Lesbos. We hear the tale of this ancient, Pagen poetess who was world-famous but whose sexuality was only a 'big deal' long after her death. A string of leaders within the growing Christian movement aspired to burn Sappho and all of her poetry from the historical record. They largely succeeded, unfortunately, a few poems and a few portions of other poems have survived. Dawn reads a brief portion of one and it gets steamy! 00:25:18 - CHAPTER TWO: The Lesbian Sex Wars.Dawn brings us forward in time several hundred years to America in 1970's and the midst of the Civil Rights Movement. As several varying groups of minorities are organizing and fighting for freedom and representation, a bizarre rift developed among the Women's Right's Movement. On the one side were the Radical Feminists like Catharine A MacKinnon and Andrea Dworkin who are anti-porn and anti-kink. On the other, a group of BDSM-leather-loving women who called themselves the Lesbian Sex Mafia. They squared off in 1982 at the Barnard College Conference on Sexuality... I know, to be a fly on the wall, right 00:38:04 - CHAPTER THREE: Dykes on Bikes.After some 'cunt-a-linquistics' of the origin of the word 'dyke' Dawn tells the story of how the famous motorcycle club, Dykes on Bikes came to be. It, like leather and motorcycle culture among men, grew out of World War 2 and the individuals who found themselves on the forefront of the mechanics and technology of these relatively new machines.  In 2006 the motorcycle club known as Dykes on Bikes won their suit against the US Patent Office which refused the registration of their trademark due to a "slur" in the title. They successfully argued that 'Dyke' is not a slur - and if it is regarded so, it is not held as such within the community. They later assisted an Asian-American band called 'Tan and the Slants' win their case in 2017.---NEXT EPISODE - July 20th, 2022: EP20 - THE HILF ORGY is a mash-up of never-before-heard segments from previous HILF episodes, and it will be the last episode of our first season. HILF is taking August off (while Dawn goes to Italy, HILF-Central!) and we will return with a NEW SEASON starting Wednesday, Sept. 7th. Keep up with us on Instagram!AppleSpotify

When Asian American rock musician Simon Tam started his band, he never guessed it would bring him to the steps of the Supreme Court. But when the federal trademarking office rejected his band's name, The Slants, saying it was offensive to Asian Americans, it set Simon on a long and frustrating path through the courts. Though it was a free speech case at its heart, Becket weighed in at the Supreme Court to add another layer of consideration—that the trademarking laws were dangerously close to the anti-blasphemy laws the U.S. fights abroad.

"Can we long exist as a society if we lose our tradition in the roots of faith?" My guest on this episode of Law and Legitimacy is Ron Coleman. Ron Coleman is a partner at The Dhillon Law Group and has a robust practice including business law, commercial litigation, trademarks, intellectual property, antitrust, appellate issues and the occasional appearance in front of SCOTUS, anchored out of New York City.  Ron is also the host of his own new podcast, The Coleman-Nation Podcast, and is the brilliant mind behind the massive catalogue of blog material you can find at Likelihood of Confusion.  Ron is a lawyer's lawyer, without a doubt. But although our conversation was anchored in the obvious pretense of the practice of law, you will find a transcendent discussion emerge—almost from the moment this episode begins.  I took great pleasure in learning of Ron's commitment to Talmudic scholarship and his willingness to share the insight embedded in what he terms to be the "codified fact patterns" of scripture. Among the most poignant queries: what is Inspiration? What does it mean to be Inspired? And is modern man inspired in his current state? This is the central question of this podcast. Ron and I together attempt to lay forth the nihilistic trajectory of the current era—a sort of anarchy—and opine on the existential importance of common conceptions of right and consensus to a society. And if two seasoned attorneys with minimal overlap in practice can colocate around these themes, where are the rest of the people in our profession?  Yes. We really attacked the theme of Legitimacy.  Our discussion floats effortlessly from our shared philosophical bents into more concrete topics, such as legal realism, the Lanham Act (wherein Ron teaches me and the rest of you what a trademark is in less than 90 seconds), Ron's representation of The Slants before SCOTUS in Matal v. Tam, the evolving trends in Speech, and the Giuliani law license suspension.  I cannot overstate the pleasure we took here at Law and Legitimacy in hosting such engaging content. Perhaps that is the real magic of Ron Coleman. You can find him raising hell on Socials: @RonColeman, @ColemanNation1, and @Likely2Confuse.

Suprema Corte americana libera palavrões em marcas e patentes Agência de marcas e patentes havia se recusado a registrar marca com um nome que lembra uma flexão verbal de uma palavra de baixo calão em inglês. A Suprema Corte dos Estados Unidos derrubou, nesta segunda (24), uma antiga regra que proibia que marcas que tivessem palavras e símbolos imorais ou escandalosos. Os juízes tiveram que tomar uma decisão relativa a uma empresa de roupas que tinha um nome controverso. O dono da marca alegou que a proibição violava o direito ao discurso, que é uma garantia constitucional nos EUA. O governo de Donald Trump, favorável à proibição da marca, argumentou que a lei que restringia palavrões em marcas existia desde 1905. O caso em questão é da marca FUCT, da cidade de Los Angeles. O designer Erik Brunetti protocolou o registro do nome comercial, mas a agência de marcas e patentes recusou. A palavra FUCT não existe em inglês, mas tem uma sonoridade próxima de um termo inapropriado. A Suprema Corte manteve uma decisão de uma instância inferior de Justiça, de 2017, que considerava que a proibição era uma violação à garantia constitucional de liberdade de expressão nos Estados Unidos. Na prática, a agência de marcas e patentes não vai mais impedir registros de marcas por profanidade ou imagens gráficas de cunho sexual. A administração de Trump havia avisado que invalidar a lei abriria as portas para um fluxo de palavras extremas e imagens sexualmente gráficas no mercado. Em 2011, quando o protocolo da FUCT foi rejeitado, a agência concluiu que, além da sonoridade da palavra, os produtos tinham imagens explícitas, misóginas e violentas. Brunetti tentou registrar a marca porque seria mais fácil protegê-la de falsificações. O nome é uma saída inteligente, ele afirma, por causa da sua associação a um palavrão, mas também é uma sigla para “amigos em quem não se pode confiar”. Uma instância de Justiça deu razão a ele em 2017. Banda de rock ganhou processo semelhante A decisão desta segunda (24), a Suprema Corte seguiu a mesma lógica de uma decisão de 2017 quando derrubou uma lei que proibia marcas ofensivas. Naquela ocasião, era uma banda de rock dançante que se chama The Slants. Esse é um termo que, originalmente, se refere a algo inclinado, mas que é empregado de maneira pejorativa para descrever pessoas de origem asiática. O conjunto The Slants é formado por músicos de ascendência asiática. A agência de marcas e registros considerou que eles não poderiam ter esse nome, eles entraram com um processo na Justiça e venceram. Cuidados com a pronúncia Na argumentação, no dia 15 de abril, os juízes e advogados tiveram o cuidado de não pronunciarem o palavrão do qual deriva o nome da marca de roupa. Um advogado descreveu a palavra como “o equivalente à flexão verbal no particípio passado de uma profanidade paradigmática de uma palavra profana na nossa cultura”. O juiz Stephen Breyer a chamou de “a palavra em questão”. Os produtos da marca de Brunetti incluem um pulôver com a inscrição “The World is fuct” (o mundo está fuct), calças com os dizeres “We are fuct” (nós estamos fuct) e uma camiseta com a frase “Fuct is free speech, free speech is fuct” (Fuct é a liberdade de expressão, a liberdade de expressão está fuct). Ainda que algumas pessoas fiquem ofendidas por certas palavras, limitar o direito de se expressar é uma medida perigosa, afirmou Brunetti, em uma entrevista em abril. O governo dos EUA argumentou que banir termos vulgares e imagens indecentes não é uma discriminação contra um ponto de vista, e que o governo não deveria ser forçado, pelo sistema de proteção de marcas, a promover palavras e imagens que podem chocar o público.
