Attempt to own smiley face icon trademark thwarted

People are nuts! Walmart tried to enforce a trademark claim on the "smiley face". The courts said "No Way", finally some common sense in America.

-"trademark rights must yield to the right of free speech. This is a resounding victory for First Amendment rights and sends a clear message to big corporations that would try to use their deep pockets to intimidate and silence"
