I think they need a name change as well, but I'm not entirely sure how the USPTO revoking their trademarks will help the organization move in that direction.

All it means is the trademarks are no longer officially registed in the United States. It doesn't stop them from using them, making profits from them.... or anything, really.

Heck, if someone else uses them, they could still win a lawsuit for unfair competition or unlawful usage of a recognized trademark.

It's a nice, symbolic gesture. But I don't really see what it actually accomplishes.
