“The Proud Boys is barred from selling merchandise using its name or symbols without permission from a [b]lack church once vandalized by the right-wing extremist group’s members, after a Washington, D.C., judge on Monday revoked its control over the trademark. Judge Tanya Jones Bosier of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia turned control of the ‘Proud Boys’ trademark over to the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, which was attacked by members of the group, including former leader Enrique Tarrio, after a December 2020 rally supporting President Trump. The church previously won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys in 2023 but sought control of the group’s trademarked name when it failed to pay up.” (02/04/25)
