Front page of N.H. Register: Large picture of the Husky log adorning the football field at Morgan School. It looks like a rough draft of the officially trademarked UConn Husky.
"To protect its interests, the university has asked town & school officials to remore Clinton's logo from wherever it might appear and to create a new one that is distinctly different from the university's husky.
'We're not looking for changes overnight, and there's going to be no legal proceedings', said UConn athletics spokesman Michael Enright."
"The Indian River logo is a different design from that used by UConn: It faces the opposite direction and does not have its tongue sticking out.
Enright said those changes are not sufficient to avoid trademark infringement."
"Clinton's concern is that it could cost about $ 20,000.00 to remove the logo from the town's new artificial turf field."
This is just what the University needs. Going after a small shoreline & alienating the local residents. I understand that the University is protecting its interests, but this is like squishing a worm with a sledgehammer.
