That UA would bring a lawsuit against Daniel Moore is one of the dumbest legal moves I've ever seen. Moore says in his press release that the university has spent $2 million on the case, and I hope they wind up having to pay Moore's attorney fees.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-85599132295824453252012-06-12T13:26:19.459-05:002012-06-12T13:26:19.459-05:00It seems odd that the same university that has bee...It seems odd that the same university that has been so incensedd over what it claims as a trademark violation has its own trademark problem. The Nike gear, uniforms, helmits, shoes, windbreakers, etc. the university has purchased and dresses ts team and coaching staff in, all bear the dostictive Nike trademark. This violates Alabama state law that prohibits advertising on state prpoerty. The university cannot argue that the Nike gear nor Bryant/Denny Stadium on which their team plays are not state property.<br /><br />Some 10 years or so ago some group had a rally on the front yard of the Alabama state capital. The had the local Coke distributor paint them a banner which they had strecthed across the capital columns. On each end of the banner were the Coke logo. The capital police had them take it down and cut off the logos, citing the state law.Davidnoreply@blogger.com
