Larry Wins?
All the headlines state that KU won, but I'm thinking maybe Larry Sinks is feeling pretty good that roughly 150 of his shirts passed the trademark test including the one that the University really hates -- "Muck Fizzou."
As an amateur t-shirt seller myself (sawin' wood, dollar signs), I was watching this one pretty closely hoping for a clear cut verdict. I'd still like to see a master list of the shirts that didn't make it because, "Our Coach Can Eat Your Coach" as infringement but "Our Coach Beat Anorexia" as okay provides zero clarity for me.
Maybe this quiz at the Cap-Journal will help: http://app.cjonline.com/quiz/ku_v_joecollege.php
Anyway, chalk one up for creativity and now we know -- the University of Kansas cannot exclusively trademark the state's name.
