The Law School through AIPCS is hosting The Slants, an Asian-American
band. The Slants are currently awaiting a decision from the U.S. Supreme
Court on whether they can register their band name for trademark
protection. The Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) denied their
application roughly six years ago alleging that it is disparaging toward
people of Asian decent. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments for the
case in January and will likely have a decision on their case in July.
We will be hosting them to talk about their case over lunch, and then
they will be putting on a concert in the law school lobby or courtyard
at around 7:30 p.m. Hope to see you there!
