Under goods & services it says "hats & shirts". Anyone know what this means (I don't know anything about us trademarks).
Trademarks only apply to product categories that you register them in.
Which is why you often have companies with the same names in different industries.
Right, I still doubt you can stop people from continuing to produce items with a slogan. Prior art is a patent term, but I suppose some similar principle exists that this trademark cannot apply retroactively.
That's correct. Trying to claim this slogan as your trademark after the fact would actually introduce the confusion of origin that trademark law is meant to prevent.
