A California man whose company carries a provocative name is hoping that the U.S. Supreme Court will rule against a trademark law that he believes violates his freedom of speech. The fashion brand at the center of the hearing is "F--T" - an acronym for "Friends You Can't Trust." The United States Patent and Trademark Office denied the trademark in 2014 saying it was in bad taste. The owner of brand, Erik Brunetti, argued the decision denies his First Amendment rights. “In this case, with this acronym that is offensive to some people, the trademark office said no, the trial court said no, the appellate court said yes and now the Supreme Court has it," Judge Nap said.
