How can US patent office get away with stealing Washington Redskins Intellectual property?
The question misunderstands the adjudication that took place concerning the Redskins' Intellectual Property. Intellectual Property is protected from infringing copies by the US Patent Office through registry with them However, a group that can claim that the image or property that is copyrighted is offensive to members of that group. In the case of the Redskins, several Native Americans brought suit to the adjudication board of the US Patent Office and demanded that the patent be rescinded since it is offensive to them. The Patent Office heard arguments from both the Native Americans and from the Redskins and determined that the Native Americans' arguments were correct. Therefore the protection granted by the Patent Office was rescinded.
The Redskins have not lost the ability to use the symbols or any other intellectual property associated with the rescinded patent, nor has the Patent Office "acquired it" from the Redskins. However, with the loss of the patent, there is no more legal grounds for the Redskins to claim that any copying of their signs or logos is an infringement of an existing patent.
