Court Upholds Redskin Trademark

ORG XMIT: NY151 FILE - In this April 26, 2009 file photo, a Washington Redskins helmet is displayed during day two of the NFL Draft at Radio City Music Hall in New York.  The Washington Redskins won another legal victory Friday, May 15, 2009,  in a 17-year fight with a group of American Indians who argue the football team's trademark is racially offensive. The decision issued Friday by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington doesn't address the main question of racism at the center of the case. Instead, it upholds the lower court's decision in favor of the football team on a legal technicality. (AP Photo/Jason DeCrow, File) (Jason Decrow / The Spokesman-Review)
