The U.S. Trademark Office chose to deny the application, finding that it violated the Lanham Act. On the other hand, the Federal Circuit reversed the judgment, as it considered that the prohibition to register personal names violated the right to freedom of expression contained in the First Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>Upon hearing the case, the Supreme Court opted to uphold the prohibition to register the names of third parties, since it considered that this protects the individual reputation of a person and avoids consumer confusion. In addition, the Court emphasized that this rule is not based on the motivating ideology that each person has when applying for a trademark, but it objectively prohibits the registration of personal names as trademarks without the required consent.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Superintendency of Industry and Commerce decided to suspend judicial functions due to an exponential increase in lawsuits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4407289,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"<!-- wp:divi\/placeholder \/-->","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[59,50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4407285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsletter-en","category-trademarks-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
