If they find out a high school is using their mark without authorization, they would be idiots not send a cease and desist order.Originally posted by dabrockster View Post
Get back to me when they target HS’s with cease and desists orders.
You haters. I’ve never seen a more bunch of whiners with their girly-pantsies twisted over one school over the years.

Get back to me when Texas makes it back into the title conversation.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post
And yes, this thread has always been the best. You guys can’t quit it.
Oh, and I expect you to make the edits and remove “end” to this title thread when TOSU has a great season. As usual. While Texas gets smacked by OU again.

Yeah, Ohio State is the good guy here. They would never go after the little guy.
Can't even spell the name of the state without tOSU getting upset. And they don't give a shit about your own trademark.Since 2009, Ohio State has sued 14 different entities for trademark infringement in U.S. District Court, opposed dozens with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and sent hundreds of cease-and-desist letters.
A review of records involving Ohio State shows the university has been in a broad range of trademark disagreements. Ohio State has sued merchandisers, media outlets, a car dealership, and a poultry farm in U.S. District Court.
Under the trademark office’s umbrella, OSU filed motions to oppose a number of small retailers, a Cincinnati casino, an upstart football league, and Ohio University’s attempt to trademark the word “Ohio.”
In some circles, Ohio State has a reputation as a legal bully, but the university says it simply tries to protect its marks — which are worth millions of dollars in revenue to the school.
“I think we’re mischaracterized as the aggressor when the reality is that we’re playing defense,” said Rick Van Brimmer, the director of Ohio State’s trademark and licensing office.
“When you’re a trademark owner, you have an obligation to protect those rights. If you don’t, you will lose them.”
Raising money for charity by using a tangential reference to Ohio State's mascot? Rot in hell.The school sued a Perrysburg business owner, Eric Hennan, in 2013 for trademark infringement. Mr. Hennan registered a silhouette of four people spelling out “O-H-I-O” — most popularly sold on decals and shirts — which met no resistance through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
On March 5, 2013, the trademark office officially registered the mark in Mr. Hennan’s name.
Six weeks later, Ohio State sued him in U.S. District Court.
Even though Mr. Hennan legally registered the trademark, it ultimately did not matter.
“Basically, the United States Patent and Trademark was useless to me,” Mr. Hennan said. “It was a waste of time and money. It didn’t protect me at all.”
tOSU wants to force Oklahoma State and Oregon State to spell their names out.Eleven Warriors, a popular fan website that covers Ohio State sports, sponsored a tailgate called “Eat Too, Brutus” from which 100 percent of the profits went to charity. But, because Brutus is the name of Ohio State’s mascot, OSU insisted that Eleven Warriors change the name.
https://www.toledoblade.com/College/...t-in-2009.htmlThe Columbus Dispatch reported that OSU filed an application in February with the trademark office, seeking to trademark “OSU,” specifically on clothing and apparel.
In addition, The Dispatch reported Oklahoma State University filed for an extension, indicating it plans to file a notice of opposition to the Ohio State University request. The office approved the request, giving Oklahoma State until the end of August to file its objection.
At the end of the day, I think Brock is right. We are the assholes with our panties twisted while tOSU is a magnanimous institution that wouldn't hurt a fly. Unless the fly was selling unauthorized tOSH gear.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Well looks there. Top 50 programs over the last 150 years and tOSU sits at #3.
Texas?? #9. Go figure.. Not really.
Bold Prediction. Texas will NOT win a NC before Ohio St. Get their next one.
Texas is shit for defense and until they realize this, they wallow in mediocrity.

Texas is top 3 in accounting. I only know tOSU has an accounting program because a friend of mine from aTm went there since he couldn’t get into UT :micdrop:Originally posted by dabrockster View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
