the redskins will appeal in federal court. the trademark attorney says its a rerun of a 1999 lawsuit overturned four years later. we've seen this story before and just like last time, today's ruling will have no effect at all on the team's ownership of and right to use the red skin's name and logo. legal experts say native americans wanting to get rid of the trademark face an uphill battle. >> from a court's perspective, you do not want to eradicate the goodwill built up for a quarter of a century or half because someone wakes up 25 years into the goodwill being built and thinks they don't like it or that it's disparking. >> reporter: no reaction today father or moth from players but dan snider remains the focus for those on both sides of the issue. >> my reaction is little one will make two fortunes, selling the old red skin merchandise and two, selling the now. >> money makes, you know, owners pay attention, so if people refuse to buy the logo with the redskins name on it, i think he would pay attention to that, i think he w

it does not mean that the redskins have to stop using the redskins name. in a can continue. but it lost the patent protection on its merchandise which means very subtly, but it works well if you want to see the name changed because it means that other manufacturers can come in and make redskins tires. >> and in washington the bootleggers line up, they could sell that merchandise. >> icoironically we could see more redskins merchandise. >> it is another example of powerful people moving against that name. now a lot of people are speaking out. >> harry reid. 50 of the democra senate caucus writing to the washington red skin leaders. sometimes things change in washington. thank you very much. >> one of the country's separatist to stop practice of child brides and underage sex. >> which want to return to our top story. growing pressure on president obama to say what he plans to do on worsening crisis in iraq. he's set to meet with top congressional leaders in the white house all to come up with the strategy of how to handle illinois. mike viqueira our white house correspondent i

stripping the washington redskins of their name. other companies could be free manufacture and sell merchandise like team shirts shorts and coffee mugs potentially denting redskins and nfl profits. one of the native americans who brought the original case eight years ago said it's a great victory for native americans and for all americans. i hope this ruling brings us a step closer to that inevitable day when the name of the washington football team will be changed. the team's not too worried, the patent and trademark office has done this almost a dozen times in the last two decades. the redskins got their name back on appeal and they plan an appeal now too. the board cancelled the redskins trademark registrations. reversed the board. >> this is the nfl best of any professional sports league of protecting its properties. you're going osee other owners maybe putting pressure on the redskins. however the mark for redskins is worth almost $150 million. i don't think they're going to give that up that quick. >> reporter: nonetheless, fi

of course, the redskins can appeal this. and they will retain trademark protection as they exhaust their appeals. if the team ultimately loses this legal battle, it will mean anybody and everybody can make a copy and then sell the famous logos, like the indian chiefs, on their football helmets. this is not the first time the redskins have almost lost their trademark protection for the very same reason. back in 1999, the patent office stripped their protection, but the ruling was overturned in 2003, because the court found that the plaintiffs were too old. let me repeat that. the plaintiffs were too old and waited too long to file their case against the redskins. well, now everything's changed. because this latest case was brought by a group of native americans who are between the age, of 18 and 24, when this case was filed this time around. joining me to talk about the legal troubles is cnn's justice correspondent pamela brown and hln legal analyst joey jackson. it seemed like this was quite a surprise. was this a surprise?

the good news for the washington redskins.eep their name, the bad news for the washington redskins. everyone else can now have it, too. the united states patent office has canceled the team's trademark registrations which had protected one of the most valuable sports brands in the entire world since 1967. not only did the patent office say redskins is patently offensive to native american, they also said the trademark should have probably never been granted in the first place. our pamela brown is here with more. pamela, so the name which some consider racist is not going away just yet. >> it's not going away. in fact, we still have to go through a lengthy appeals process before anything happening happens, jake, but the bottom line is this is a landmark decision by the u.s. patent and trademark office. while the decision to cancel the team's trademarks can't force the redskins to abandon its name, it's putting more pressure on the team to do so and it could raise the financial stakes down the road, not only for the team, but th

patent office takes action against the washington redskins name. nbc 10's jacqueline london is live with more on this rare decision and how it might affect one high school in our area. >> reporter: the u.s. patent office ruled that the washington redskins nickname is disparaging of native americans. as a result the team's federal trademark for the name must be canceled. what does all of this mean? in short, that decision means the team can still use the redskins name. but without the trademarks, anyone can use the redskins name to sell hats, t-shirts and other merchandise. financial pressure is now on the owner. native american groups have been fighting the team for decades to change the name. he has refused citing tradition. the team will have trademark protection while it appeals. this carries over into schools. there has been a feud between student editors and administrators over the use of redskins in the school newspaper at neshaminy high. redskins is the school mascot. the newspaper editors banned the word from its pages. last week's publicat

the redskins franchise says it will appeal the ruling. the last time the trademark office voided the protections was 1992. that appeals process came out in the team's favor after 17 years. this appeals process plays out, the team has full use of its trademark protections. in a statement, the trademark attorney said we are confidence we will prevail once again. >> wishful thinking. they are putting on a brave face here. the previous case was overturned on appeal on a technicality, the issue of laches, the plaintiff waited to long for bringing a decision, which was the key point there. they don't have that luxury in this case. >> of course the redskins make a lot of money from jersey sales as does the nfl. the team owner said he has no intention of ever changing his team's name. >> the players have an obligation here to step up and perhaps do something, he said not only players on the redskins team, but other teams. >> to a certain degree, you've got so many players on the team, for example santana moss said it was a sad day that this rulin

the washington redskins have now lost a big battle in that fight. the federal government cancelled the redskins trademark. what does that mean? well, phil matier with the impact that could have and how the tribe behind cache creek casino may have played a part in this. phil. >> reporter: a big part, ken. you know, it was just a couple of years ago they were just a small group of indians. they have a casino, money machine and turned it into a major pr machine going after the biggest sports teams in america. take a look. proud, four gotten, native americans call themselves many things. the one thing they don't -- >> my opinion, the "r" word is as derogatory a slur as the "n" word. >> reporter: the u.s. patent office agreed. and made the extremely unusual move of canceling the washington redskins trademark. so are the washington redskins going to become the washington monument? >> the story isn't over. >>> we'll see sooner than later an appeal in federal court. >> reporter: indeed the redskins say they will appeal the ruling just as they did in 1992 wh

the redskins are not necessarily facing the possibility of having no right to use the term "redskins" or their current logo, but they are facing a legal authority in the u.s. saying this is a disparaging term that you are using and we don't want to recognize it. that increases the pressure on them to change the name. >> does this have any affect on the road fees that would be collected by either the nfl team owners on behalf of merchandise that is sold that bears the redskins logo? >> if the redskins continue to use the name, and if the sales continue at a similar rate, then they could -- and they split that third one ways. everyone but the dallas cowboys shares in the merchandise from the nfl. then they will be able to go after trademark infringers. does this mean that people will want to buy gear that has a racial slur on it, according to the appeals court at the patent trade-off is? maybe, -- the patent trade office? maybe, but there has been this changing tide from any -- from many. able are already disinclined to buy it. it certainly adds to the voices saying that this is not a n

now others may use redskins brand. the team is not too worried. the patent and trademark office has done this almost a dozen times in the last two decades. the redskins got their trademarks back on appeal and they plan an appeal this time, too. the case is no different from an earlier case where the board canceled the redskins registrations and where a federal district court disagreed and reversed the board. nonetheless, the pressure on the team's owner dan snyder to change the red skin name. president obama said if he was a team owner he would think about changing it. harry reid is boycotting games and said the writing is on the wall, and the nfl can no longer ignore this and perpetuate the use of this name as anything but what it is. a racial slur. >> so what is going to happen next? well, the answer is probably not quite a lot. as i said at the top this is just really a government agency making the point that they don't think that the name redskins is appropriate to have as a trademark. now what's going to happen as i said in the report, tony,
