Ohio State files action against Oklahoma for block 'O' trademark
Pride of Oklahoma drum major Julie Siberts leads a chant of "Boomer Sooner" during the Rose Bowl Game, a College Football Playoff Semifinal, between the Oklahoma Sooners (OU) and Georgia Bulldogs (UGA) at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, Monday, Jan. 1, 2018. Georgia won 54-48 in double overtime.
Ohio State has filed an action against Oklahoma to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The item in question? A block "O."
The notice of opposition was filed last week. Ohio State uses the block "O" as its primary logo, and the school extensively outlines the history of its use in the action.
The University of Oklahoma Board of Regents filed a trademark application for the mark in December 2017. OU claims its block "O" has been in commercial use since 2001. The mark is most noticeable to Sooner fans as the logo on the chest of the drum major.
Ohio State claims it has used the block "O" since 1898 and that Oklahoma's applied-for mark is "highly similar" and that "confusion is likely."
Baker Mayfield tried to stake claim to the block "O" by planting an OU flag in it after Oklahoma's 31-16 win in Columbus, Ohio last season.
