Ohio State University loses bid to trademark 'the' in front of OSU's name.
Federal regulators on Wednesday rejected Ohio State University in its bid to trademark"the" in front of OSU's name, saying such protection just isn't necessary.
The school in Columbus has aggressively marketed itself with the three-letter word, with Buckeyes sports organizations insisting on being addressed as teams from"the Ohio State University."the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to make the single word"the" an exclusive Buckeyes right for use on T-shirts and baseball caps and hats.
"Registration is refused because the applied-for mark as used on the specimen of record is merely a decorative or ornamental feature of applicant’s clothing and, thus, does not function as a trademark to indicate the source of applicant’s clothing and to identify and distinguish applicant’s clothing from others," according to Tara L. Bhupathi, the examining attorney who handled the case.
