Abstract

This paper explores the limits of the commercial speech doctrine and applies it to the controversy over the Washington Redskins team name. It advocates that a trademark is a time-manner-place restriction on speech and deserves intermediate scrutiny protection, rather than rational basis or strict scrutiny protection. It then argues that, under this doctrine, revocation of the team's trademarks is unconstitutional.
