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 . <br>

My thrilled reaction matches yours. But wouldn't it have been
helpful if the judge's order were to have explicitly conveyed not
only the registration but also the associated goodwill?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve had a crazy week so it is
possible that I’m missing something really basic here
because my brain is fried, but, how is an historic
Black church in DC going to own the trademark? How
will they show use? I found four pending applications
and no registrations. All four are owned by different
individuals/companies and all but one are 1b.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">How can the trademark PROUD BOYS
indicate a Black church as the source of the
