Man says he offered the NFL dozens of free trademarks for possible DC team names.
In the wake of a national reckoning over race, the team is now in the process of selecting a new name to replace the long-controversial Redskins, a racist description of Native Americans.
McCaulay said he holds dozens of registered trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office from 2015 for the following alternatives for the D.C.-based NFL organization: the Washington Veterans, Americans, Monuments, Federals, Renegades, Founders, Football Clubs, Pigskins or Red Tailed Hawks. "I sent an email, because the NFL trademark attorneys had contacted me five years earlier about Pigskins," McCaulay said."I wrote them an email with the subject line 'Free Trademarks.' I listed all those registered trademarks, and I said, 'You can use these for free.'"
"I had to reach into my own pocket and pay a $400 an hour trademark attorney to contact the team and tell them I had the trademarks that they can have for free," he said.
