The man known as the trademark squatter is offering them up to Daniel Snyder under one condition.
Martin McCaulay, who has trademarked several notable Washington names, is willing to give up their rights to the NFC East franchise, but told TMZ that he would do so under one condition. McCaulay wants Washington to donate to charities of his choosing, including those exclusive to Native Americans.
“They won’t take my offer of free trademarks so I hired an attorney to facilitate the transaction. His name is Darren Heitner,” McCaulay told TMZ Sports.
“He wrote a letter to Mr. Snyder with my offer, making it clear that I was trying to facilitate the name change. I do not want to be an obstacle. Please. If you want one of Mr. McCaulay’s trademarks, or me, ‘trademark hog,’ as I like to go by, then just let us know what does he need to do to get out of your way? What is it?”
McCaulay holds the rights to names like the Monuments, Americans, Veterans, Red-Tailed Hawks and Federals.
“My email was dated July 4th, 2020 to the NFL trademark attorney and said ‘free trademarks,’ a list out of all my trademarks saying, ‘you can have these for free’ and they didn’t respond.”
“I didn’t know how to reach anybody. I’m on Twitter, at the NFL, at the NFL commish. Take my trademarks, please! What do I have to do to get you to take these trademarks?” he told TMZ.
Washington announced earlier this week that the “Redskins” name and logo was being retired.
