<p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps not as crazy as you think. On Jan 6 the Proud Boys attacked a well known historic black church in washington because it was displaying a Black Lives Matter sign. The church sued and asked for damages . Proud boys defaulted . Church then sued to enforce the judgment and sought transfer and or lien on the name as an asset of group. Judge awarded it - are you suggesting judge cannot award IP to satisfy a tort judgement ? Assuming church makes use of the mark in an appropriate period , why not? Personally I’m thrilled . <o:p></o:p></p>
