Historic Black Church Secures Proud Boys Trademark through Legal Victory

Summary: A Washington DC judge revoked the Proud Boys' trademark rights and granted them to Metropolitan AME Church due to the group's $2.8 million unpaid damages for vandalizing the church in December 2020. Consequently, Proud Boys chapters across the country are prohibited from using their name or symbols without the church's consent. Furthermore, the church can claim proceeds from any merchandise sales displaying the group's logos or name.
