scandalous subject matter

Read a random definition: policy stacking

A quick definition of scandalous subject matter:

Scandalous subject matter refers to words, phrases, symbols, or images that are considered offensive to society's values and beliefs. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office may refuse to register trademarks that contain scandalous subject matter. The Lanham Act uses the terms "immoral, deceptive, or scandalous subject matter," but courts have not made a distinction between "scandalous" and "immoral."

A more thorough explanation:

Scandalous subject matter refers to words, phrases, symbols, or images that are considered offensive to society's values and beliefs. In the United States, the Patent and Trademark Office may refuse to register a trademark that contains scandalous subject matter.

For example, a trademark that includes a graphic depiction of sexual acts or vulgar language may be considered scandalous and therefore not eligible for registration. Similarly, a trademark that promotes hate speech or discrimination based on race, gender, or religion may also be refused registration.

The term "scandalous" is often used interchangeably with "immoral" in this context, and both refer to subject matter that goes against accepted social norms and values.
