    A Federal Circuit panel appeared skeptical of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's reasoning for rejecting an application to register the F-word as a mark because of its widespread use, with one judge telling the government's attorney a couple of times during arguments Monday, "I don't understand what you're saying."

    F-Bomb TM Refusal Is Not Retaliation, USPTO Tells Fed. Circ.

    The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has denied it is retaliating against a man who wants to register the F-bomb as a trademark, telling the Federal Circuit the rejection of his application has nothing to do with his 2019 Supreme Court victory that overturned a prohibition on scandalous and immoral marks.
