: Situation:
: Say a University with an identity crisis abandoned a logo 25 years ago. They do not seem (at least as far as I can tell) to have trademarked this logo. They are now 4 logos and a quarter of a century later and not looking back. Now say a bored graduate of the University wants to open a bar with the school's old logo as its own and Trademark it. Is this possible? The logo was only used for a few years by the athletic program, and the bar would not use the University's name. The logo is pretty vague. Dear Cullen,
What you say may be be possible. As it is said, the facts and law are too vague. It would be easier to clarify over the phone. M. Arthur Auslander
