A mediation conference between the NFL and Native Americans over the Washington Redskins trademark suit will begin on Sept. 10, ABC News learned Tuesday.

The conference will explore any possibilities for a settlement in the case.

The Washington Post reported last week that Redskins President Bruce Allen said the team would not consider a name change to help push the negotiation process along.

Still, whatever happens with the trademark, it has no affect on whether the league will continue to support the team’s nickname.
