Amanda Blackhorse Biography

Amanda Blackhorse is one of the most popular and richest Social Worker who was born on February 1, 1982 in Kayenta, United States. Blackhorse is the lead plaintiff in Blackhorse v. Pro-Football, Inc., which seeks to revoke trademark protection of the term “Washington Redskins”. The case was actually began by Susan Harjo, but Blackhorse is known by its rekindled efforts because her name is alphabetically first out of the new plaintiffs. The USPTO rejected an application to register “Redskins Hog Rinds” because it “consists of or includes matter which may disparage or bring into contempt or disrepute persons, institutions, beliefs, or national symbols”. Since 1992, the USPTO has rejected eleven applications for other trademarks that included the word Redskins, based on the same reasons. Some of the applications were made by Pro-Football, Inc., including “Washington Redskins Cheerleaders”.

Plaintiff Amanda Blackhorse said in an interview, “We’ve been through this process for eight years now. We will continue to fight. And, you know, this is not the end for us.”

In June 2017 the Supreme Court ruled that the provision of the trademark law barring disparaging names was an unconstitutional infringement on freedom of speech. That case (In Re Tam) involved the denial of a trademark for an Asian- American rock band, “The Slants”. Both the Native American petitioners and the Justice Department have withdrawn from any further litigation now that the Supreme Court has rendered the legal issue moot. Blackhorse called the decision disheartening after 11 years of litigation. While it may be legal for the team to use the name, she said, that doesn’t make it right.

On June 18, 2014, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) voted to cancel the six trademarks held by the team in a two to one decision that held that the term “redskins” is disparaging to a “substantial composite of Native Americans”, and this is demonstrated “by the near complete drop-off in usage of ‘redskins’ as a reference to Native Americans beginning in the 1960s.” In a press release the trademark attorney for the team stated that they were confident that they would once again prevail on appeal, and that today’s decision will make no difference in the continued use of the Redskins name.
