Sarah Fowler, Clarion-Ledger; Mississippi man files trademark for slang version of N-word
"Curtis Bordenave, who is black, filed an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for commercial use of n---a.
Bordenave's application comes on the heels of a June decision by the U.S. Supreme Court striking down a federal law that prohibited trademarks of disparaging words and symbols.
"We plan on dictating the future of how we define this word," Bordenave said. "A young, black businessman from Mississippi has acquired the rights to the word. I think that’s a great ending to that story.""
