Disney criticized for TM of Swahilii phrase "Hakuna Matata" or "no worries." Trademark attorneys may not see the problem, comparing it to "Yahoo" or "Merry Christmas," but the cultural issue is more complicated. Yes, legal - but is it #respectful_IP? See nyti.ms/2Q2x1K5

#Walmart sure got slammed over the #Juneteenth ice cream. I get the capitalist instinct to commercialize holidays but promoting relevant black businesses would’ve been a more authentic move. #respect @jotkulture

Love it! So well said @cdasay - not teaching does NOT mean “free time.” Glad it’s only your mother in law and not the whole family - as in my case😄!

Thread on what law professors do, for my mother-in-law, who every summer says something like, "wow, how nice! You have nothing to do now that you're not teaching." /1

Cuz a bunch of kids in fringe chanting “scalp ‘em Indians, scalp ‘em” is honor, right?
And any Natives who attend @pngisd should prolly just accept their classmates dehumanizing them cuz “tradition”, right?
Shame on @DisneyParks hosting this. Nostalgic racism is RACISM.

“Commanders” as a replacement for “Redskins” makes me pause to think about the message they meant to convey with “Redskins” in the first place!
Fans had been speculating about the Commanders nickname for weeks in one of the worst-kept secrets in the NFL. huffpost.com/entry/washingto…

Here is what seems very strange to me.
In his letter to faculty, the chair of the @FIU Board of Trustees Dean Colson never thanked Rosenberg for his years of service nor did he offer any thoughts and prayers for Rosenberg and his family which you would expect. @CBSMiami

BREAKING: An emergency meeting for the FIU board of trustees is being called for 4 pm where @FIU President Mark Rosenberg is expected to announce his immediate resignation, according to sources. This move comes as a surprise. No reason for why Rosenberg is out. @CBSMiami

Hermes is suing the creator of digital, furry Birkin bags sold as NFTs for $10k ea. (great investment!) for Trademark infringement, dilution, & cybersquatting and this is now the gold standard for a trademark law exam fact pattern!
