The school, formally known as The Ohio State University, is seeking a trademark on the word "The" for use on clothing and hats. According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the filing was made Thursday.
Would this mean UConn couldn't sell shirts that say "The University of Connecticut" without a royalty or permission to Ohio State if their trademark is approved?
Either way, it's interesting and also a little pretentious.
Ohio State seeks to trademark the word 'The'
Ohio State has previously trademarked the names and likenesses of football coaches Woody Hayes and Urban Meyer as well as phrases like Script Ohio and The Shoe.
