Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs And Trademark Lawyers Cross Paths Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs And Trademark Lawyers Cross Paths

Trademarks
– October 7, 2026October 7, 20262026-10-07
It is not often that outlaw motorcycle gangs and trademarks lawyers cross paths, but recent events show how they do. The Province of Quebec passed legislation in September 2026 outlawing the wearing of certain indicia of outlaw motorcycle gangs, sometimes referred to as “colours” or “patches”. Quebec's "anti-patch" law (also known as Bill 13) prohibits the public display of logos, vests, patches, and symbols associated with designated criminal organizations, including outlaw motorcycle gangs. The prohibition includes such things as club names, acronyms, logos, and associated merchandise showing support for such gangs displayed on clothing or other objects.
