Thank you Ted Davis for allowing me to post a link (here) to your 2018 outline of trademark decisions. The outline (59 pages) covers both federal court litigation and many TTAB cases. Thanks also to all of you who attended yesterday's Annual Review session in Seattle.

And a huge thank you to Ted, and even more so to you John, for your continued dedication and outstanding service to our U.S. Trademark community. As I have said, time and time again, you my friend are a ROCK STAR IP lawyer.

Hi,
Concerning of Constitutional Issues, the First amendment, the report stated "For only the second time in the history of the republic, the Supreme Court invoked the constitution to invalidate an intellectual property statute,..."

May I know what's the first case the Supreme Court invalidated the statue for unconstitutional ?

Thanks and regards,

Jill

The original trademark statute was held unconstitutional because it did not require use in commerce regulable by Congress. The later trademark acts were okay under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution.
