Questions presented

  1. Did the CAFC, District Court, 10th Cir., TTAB Orders and Judgments and referenced Supreme Court rulings—that required corporations to be represented by legal counsel in court rooms—violate the Equal Protection Clause and Due Process of Law and; should these Supreme Court rulings be amended or over-turned so to conform with the Equal Protection Clause? If so, should the CAFC, District Court, 10th Circuit, TTAB decisions be overturned?

  2. Did the Dist. Court, 10th Cir. and CAFC exclude cumulative evidence, ignore Supreme Court rulings, U.S. Codes and Fed. R. Civ. P. in a prejudicial, bias and erroneously manner so to meet abuse of discretion standards? If so, should a retrial be granted in the pro­ per venue?

  3. Did the Dist. Court violate the 5th & 14th Amendments when it ruled that the Petitioner “is enjoined from using” the domain name?

  4. Owning to the errors of law committed by the CAFC, Dist. Court, 10th Cir. and TTAB and the pre­ ponderance of evidence and referenced SC rulings, should the trademark ‘sport court’ be cancelled and remove from the trademark Registry?
