Michael Waldman: After Supreme Court gun ruling, 'some aspects' of new gun safety law ‘will be challenged’ Michael Waldman, President of the Brennan Center for Justice and author of “The Second Amendment: A Biography,” joins Andrea Mitchell to assess whether new gun safety legislation complies with the Supreme Court’s ruling on a New York gun law. “I think it's still constitutional now,” says Waldman. “There are some aspects to it, such as red flag laws, saying you can take people's guns away if they're a threat or if they have a violent mental health issue, and also the things relating to background checks that will be challenged.”

Ohio State University was granted a trademark to use the word "THE" on apparel and merchandise to promote its athletic teams.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office had previously rejected Ohio State's application, claiming the trademark appeared to be for a "merely decorative manner" and as an "ornamental feature" that didn't function as a trademark that would differentiate the items from others, the Associated Press reported.
The USPTO did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment on the approval.

Ohio State said that the school's trademark and licensing program generates more than $12.5 million a year in revenue and funds university scholarships and programs.
The university filed its patent application in August 2019, months after fashion designer Marc Jacobs filed to use the word "THE" on his products. The USPTO also struck down Jacobs' application.
Jacobs and the school reached an agreement last year that allows both to use "THE" on their respective products.
