The wave of President Obama merchandise seems to be cresting as the inauguration draws near.  This article from CNN http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/18/obama.cool/index.html presents some interesting commentary as to why the merchandise is so popular, along with imagery of the range of products.  I won’t analyze here whether that particular product in the CNN article constitutes an infringement of the NY trademark as well, but it wouldn’t be the first time infringing merchandise steps on the toes of multiple intellectual property owners at the same time.
