Hardcore Remains Free of Nazis

For weeks, it was the number one topic when a web shop operator associated with the far-right managed to legally secure the trademark "Hardcore" for prints on clothing. Quickly, a resistance movement formed around the group Kein Bock auf Nazis, aiming to have the trademark revoked. Then, the topic went quiet for a long time, so that seemingly hardly anyone noticed that the trademark had already been deleted due to the opposition, according to a notification from the German Patent and Trademark Office on January 13, 2010. From now on, everyone can again freely print "Hardcore" on their T-shirts without the risk of being warned for it.
