Dykes on Bikes upheld

Supreme Court blocks lawyer's attempts to overturn "Dykes on Bikes" trademark:

McDermott said the trademark should have been denied because it was disparaging to men and was "scandalous and immoral." Without addressing those claims, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which rules on patent and trademark issues, dismissed his case in July, saying he could not show that he would be harmed by the designation.

Which is cool and all, but I'm wondering how my new organization "dickless lawyers with repressed sexuality issues" is going to fare?
