EatSleepJeep Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 No, but they're trying to take control of the marketing of a monochrome game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMMF Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Correct me if I am wrong but aren't they filing for "Penn State White Out"? Why would that matter to anyone who wasn't in Pennsylvania? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Correct me if I am wrong but aren't they filing for "Penn State White Out"? Why would that matter to anyone who wasn't in Pennsylvania?It wouldn't...but then you couldn't sell PSU White Out shirts and whatnot in good 'ol Downtown State College without the school getting some green...which is the point. Like you said, outside PA, who would care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, outside PA, who would care?No. That would infringe. You can't even sell shirts in the school's colors that have no trademarks or wordmarks. If I were to set up shop in Iowa City selling yellow & black "ANN ARBOR IS A WHORE" and "BEAT STATE" shirts, I'd be slapped with an injunction and lawsuit so fast, it would be comical. You can't even imply a relationship to the school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't sell anything PSU-related--logos, slogans, or even items w/ navy and white that relates to something having to do w/ PSU even without the words "Lions" or "Penn State" or whatever, unless I'm licensed to by the school--which is worth $$$ to them...
