While lawmakers and Change the Name proponents are cheering the U.S. Patent Office’s decision to cancel six of the Washington football team’s trademarks, some fans of the NFL team are pretty upset.

To the relief of #HTTR nation, an attorney for the team says they will appeal the ruling. “We are confident we will prevail once again, and that the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board’s divided ruling will be overturned on appeal,” Bob Raskopf, trademark attorney for the team, said in a statement. “This case is no different than an earlier case, where the Board cancelled the [team’s] trademark registrations, and where a federal district court disagreed and reversed the Board.”

The United States Patent and Trademark Office says “the decision to cancel the registrations means that, if not appealed or if affirmed following a possible review by a federal court, the trademark owner (Pro Football, Inc.) will lose the legal benefits conferred by federal registration. These benefits include the legal presumptions of ownership and of nationwide scope of rights in these trademarks, as well as the ability to use the federal registration ® symbol, and to record the registrations with the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Service to block importation of infringing or counterfeit foreign goods.”

As “an irreversible financial decline” is likely the only thing that will make owner Dan Snyder change the name, the result of the probable appeal is key.
