Federal Lawsuit Over New York’s Ban of the Word “Independence” in a Political Party’s Name Moves Ahead

Posted on by January 11, 2025

All the briefs will have been filed by February 7, 2025, in the lawsuit Jim Walden v Kosinski, e.d., 1:25cv-72. This is the case filed by an independent candidate for Mayor of New York city, who wants to use the ballot label “Independence”. Starting in 2022, New York bans that word as part of any party’s name.

  5. I don’t think a state can ban a name without a trademark claim???

    Jim Riley wrote in 2022 that the law added “Independent” and “Independence” to a list that includes the words “American”, “United States”, “National”, “Empire State”, or “New York State”.

    Apparently, the State of New York thinks it owns the trademark of the whole country. But actually, a similar bill in its little neighbor Connecticut was defeated last year.
