@lexlanham There might be enough there to register the stylized design mark with a disclaimer of at least the FROZEN wording. Probably all of it. But the colors/spacing are maybe protectable. Or they’d get…frozen out 🥶
@booboo_buie You left NU basketball better than you found it. You will always have a home in Evanston. Looking forward to seeing 0 in the Welsh-Ryan rafters soon, as the program you helped to build continues its rise. Thanks for a hell of a ride! 💜
@RaphealDavis3 Brooks Barnhizer: 2nd in minutes, 18th in scoring, 10th in rebounds, 21st in assists, 4th in steals, 15th in blocks, and defending opponents' best wing/4 every night. He does it all.
Trademark friends: anyone having any issues with recurring error messages when running searches, especially more complex strings, on new TESS lately? @TimberlakeLaw@JoshGerben@TudorsAndTMs
@UniWatch@GeorgeRichards I believe there was a contractual agreement to display Miami on the jerseys as part of the stadium deal. I wonder if that had a time limit on it that expired, as the Marlins were the rare team to wear their demonym at home.
@ex_factis@lexlanham Only a few states permit a postmortem right of publicity, and it’s the ones you’d expect with lots of celebrities - California, New York. The trademark registrant is listed in Ohio, but I don’t know their state law on the issue offhand. Worth looking into!
@AndrewWCoffman Usually, yes. This party has the resources if they wanted to fight. Depends on whether they were still able to sell through existing product. Good lesson for students out there on differences between strict legal analysis and legal counsel, including business considerations!
