New publication (finally) in @jmcquarterly. @vekstra and I examine how the @USPTO issues trademarks to hashtags, which often co-opt social movements. As a former journalist, many missed opportunities publishing this article. Mine eyes are open. #RaceIPjournals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
Over seven years – from 2012 to 2018 – they discovered 110 applications involving the phrase “lives matter...” During that period, the @uspto granted trademark protection for 16 “lives matter” related applications..
