Condom Trademark Hearing Set: Northrop Corp. is...

From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Condom Trademark Hearing Set: Northrop Corp. is trying to shoot down a trademark for a red-white-and-blue contraceptive marketed as the Stealth Condom and sold in a black cardboard package modeled after the B-2 bomber. The manufacturer of the radar-eluding Stealth bomber asked the U.S. Patent and Trademark office in Washington last July to refuse the product trademark registration. The trademark board has scheduled a hearing Nov. 15 for Texas-based condom seller John Hughes, 28, to respond to Northrop’s objection.
