University continues to clash with T-shirt vendor

Tuesday, January 22, 2008

The University of Kansas added ten new shirts to its lawsuit against joe-college.com.

The Massachusetts Street T-shirts vendor conjured the added disapproval from the University with shirts that mostly referred to this year’s bowl bids.

As a result, the trial set for the beginning of January was moved to March. March will mark nearly a year of on-going disputes between the two parties.

The University is suing for trademark infringement because the T-shirts are being printed without permission or royalties paid to the University. Joe-college.com says the university does not have exclusive rights to the name Kansas and certain shades of blue.

The joe-college.com Web site and store have posted disclaimers that the University does not endorse the T-shirts, but that is not enough to quell the pending lawsuit.
