Federal Appeals Court Upholds New Orleans Saints’ Fleur-de-Lis Trademark in Royalty Dispute

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit recently dismissed an appeal involving a challenge to the New Orleans Saints’ iconic fleur-de-lis trademark. The appeal was filed by a claimant purporting to be a descendant of French royalty, who argued that the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board should invalidate the football team’s design mark. This decision effectively upholds the board’s original ruling, affirming that the Saints’ trademark remains intact. For further details on this legal matter, read more here.
