The real USC?


One more note from LA-LA land. I ran across this while checking in on Magic Mark's injured knee.

When they're not engaging in billboard wars, apparently USC is spending time and money proving they're the "real USC". I'm starting to get the impression they're trying to compensate for something.

People always give OSU folks shit for throwing "THE" in front of Ohio State University. You don't see Ohio State filing suit with the U.S. Patent Office now do you? DO YOU?

Not only is the University of Southern California going after the University of South Carolina for exclusive use of "USC", they're also taking the time to harass a high school in Utah that calls itself the USC Trojans and uses cardinal and gold as their school colors, according to the LA Times.

Get a life people!

More from the LA Times...

According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, it's the University of Southern California ... not the University of South Carolina.

On Friday, the local USC won an administrative tribunal that helped define who has rights to the "SC" logo, including the interlocking version. The case originated back in 2002.
