Has /pol/ heard about this yet?

>Steve Maynard, 50, says he doesn’t identify with any faith, and he marks “other” when asked his race on government documents. But he used to work foe the USPTO. Now he’s on a mission — quite possibly quixotic — to thwart bigots by using that experience. He’s applied to trademark both the swastika and the word “nigga.”
>The swastika, he said, “is a symbol that needs to be taken seriously, and not sold for $10 at a rally for everyone to have. They would have to buy them through us, and we would charge a high rate, and if they didn’t buy them through us, we would have the right to go in and confiscate merchandise and just frustrate their purpose,” he said.

Well, this just screams Jewish.

Can you trademark something that you didn't even create?
>>
>>134257815
Yes, but it's harder. And he'd have no chance of doing it with something like that, even ignoring the religious uses.

Swastika is an ancient indo-european symbol
Only under capitalism
>>
>>134257372
This wouldn't work cause some religions still use the swastika. Dumb liberals don't know history, typical.
>>
>>134258174
Possibly, yes. I wouldn't be surprised if someone already has, though.
And remember you can only do it for certain variants. Like Scientology has their cross done. Freemasons have certain S&Cs in some states. Nike has it's own tick. And so on. Doesn't stop people from using ones which are similar, but different.

We should trademark a bunch of jewish shit to piss them off. Probably just make a like a funding account to pay for it and then trademark it.

Haha, he's going to be one of the first ones gassed then the Fourth Reich happens.
Even if on some one a trillion chance that this happens, we'll just start using the back sun or other symbols. Cucks never learn.
>>134257598
Yeah, this is about as Jewish as it gets.
>>134258693
Except those companies/organizations created those symbols. This faggot Jew didn't create the swastika.

Implying the kike judge would allow that
>>
>>134258954
A lot of people do stuff like that for just that purpose. Best of luck if you do it. Make sure you don't try for something already protected. Usually worth engaging a copyright lawyer.
>>134259190

They created their variant. Nike didn't invent the tick, it just uses it. Same with McDonalds and the "golden arches." But they do often grab variants which are similar to protect themselves.

Its a symbol present in every major religion. Trying to trademark it is like trying to trademark a line or a circle
