As the article makes clear, if you don't defend your mark against all known violations then it enters the public domain and then anyone can exploit it. Notwithstanding that I think its a little silly that you can get a trademark for nonsense expressions like "the 12th man", being handicapped isn't a free pass to steal somebody else's stuff.

I understand that they have to keep the trademark protected

I just think that their course of action could have been a little different, but that's just me.

So how does A&M feel about Seattle? To clarify, I know they pay A&M some money, but it has to eat at them a bit.

Don't blame me

Yeah, I read that, but they must be pissed that most people around the country now probably associate the term with the Seahawks more than the Aggies.

Well Dana Bible and Johnny Football aren't walking through those doors. I think they have peaked in the SEC, though I do like Sumlin
