In a defiant statement issued Wednesday, the Washington Redskins said the team would appeal the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s decision to revoke the trademark to the team’s name and logo on the grounds that they are offensive to Native Americans.

The professional football team added that in the meantime, the ruling would have “no effect at all” on its trademark rights while the case is on appeal. The press release even put that in boldface and underlined it.
