wildcat2334 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I love it- Texas A&M- beat it, go back to College Station. Article is spot on- There is no ripping off of A&M- that is laughable- Seattle had the loudest home field advantage with the Kingdome, and they have it again with Qwest. Timing is curious, and weak- besides Swerski- who gives a F about Texas A&M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 If it were OK for everybody to use the phrase, A&M wouldn't have been allowed to trademark it in the first place. 1297622[/snapback] That is a BALD FACED LIE!!!!

myhousekey Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 http://money.cnn.com/2006/01/23/magazines/...fortune_060206/ We're taking over. As the public face of Wal-Mart, CEO Lee Scott has his hands full. So it can't hurt that he has one of the sharpest executives in the land watching over his 3,250 U.S. stores. Eduardo Castro-Wright, the new CEO of Wal-Mart Stores USA, turned Wal-Mart's publicly traded Mexican subsidiary, Wal-Mex, into the country's best retailer and a jewel of Wal-Mart's $56 billion international arm. After earning an engineering degree at Texas A&M, Castro-Wright rebuilt RJR Nabisco's Latin American operations during the tumultuous KKR era.

rbmcdonald Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) Sorry if this has been posted already. Heard on the radio this morning that Texas A&M has asked the Seahawks to stop using A&M's copyrighted "12th Man" slogan. No word yet on whether or not the Seahawks are going to comply. 1289725[/snapback] There has been a update to the story. Texas A&M has now filed a lawsuit against all Automatic Teller Machines, for the use of aTm. Details to follow.

Easy n Dirty Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 And in a related story, Seattle and its fans have caved to all of the media hype and have ceased all use of the phrase "12th Man", replacing it with a new and original slogan. Seattlites everywhere are waking up this morning and screaming "triple yoi!" at the top of their lungs. I heard Paris Hilton tried to trademark "That's hot", not sure how that worked out. Maybe she needs the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecerwin Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) I have recently studied into patents, trademarks, etc. "A trademark refers to a word, a phrase, a design, a symbol, or a slogan that is used to distinguish a product from those of competitors. Trademark law serves as a means to protect the public from being confused about the origin or quality of a product. For a trademark to be recognized in the United States, it must be registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. A company may lose exclusive right to a trademark if it fails to actively defend it against infringement." (quick google search led me to find-legal.info/trademarklaw.htm) SO, if Texas A&M has allowed the Seahawks to call their fans the 12th man since the 80's without interference, they lose the right to the trademark.
