Ukraine’s border force cannot trademark the anti-Russian wartime insult, “Russian warship, go f**k yourself,” because it is a political slogan, an EU court decided Wednesday.
Ukraine’s border guards cannot trademark the anti-Russian wartime insult, “Russian warship, go f**k yourself,” because it is a political slogan, an EU court ruled Wednesday. The cry was the defiant response of Ukrainian defenders to a Russian warship calling for surrender in the early days of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The bold words were the last known radio communication from Ukrainian soldiers on Snake Island, a rocky island in the Black Sea. They soon became a widely memed symbol of Ukrainian resistance. The phrase was repeated on everything from T-shirts to postage stamps and road signs. The State Border Guard of Ukraine had intended to use the trademark to sell a wide range of goods, as well as for publishing, education, entertainment, and sports services.
