The thing about this is that as dumb and crummy as their treatment is from the USPTO and this jerk, why do DoB want a trademark in the first place? Are they going to sue someone for opening a rival chapter? Selling tees? Do we want or need exclusive rights regimes for funny names of hobbyist orgs? There's a game-clan that's just gotten a (R) too. Kee-rist! Just what we need: hobbyiist pass-times that wrap themselves in the most oppressive, anti-speech elements of US law.
