APA Compass: Simon Tam on The Slants' trademark case
Musician Simon Tam describes his ongoing legal action to trademark his band's name, "The Slants."  The US Patent and Trademark Office denied his applications on the grounds that the word is offensive, though approved hundred of other trademarks containing the same word.

Interviewed by Anna Preble.  Produced by Anna Preble and Andrew Yeh.  Music is "Sour Love" by The Slants.
