Eventually.

Unless HCP would be confused with Ohio State University, then I think he is safe. Unlikely, TOSU will get this. If they do it will only be in the context of U.S. universities.

Remember @PtldPlatypus I was THE for 6 months. SHit, I hope I don’t get pulled into this lawsuit.

There is no lawsuit at this point, but you may be the reason that TOSU can't market goods in Oregon. The Beavers should thank you.

what are we gonna do if it turns out we can't call this thread the 'the' thread?

I guess all these years I've been taking the for granted. I sure hope next they won't come for my whatever without telling my why

They should file a trademark application on The University of Oregon, just to mess with Ohio State.

I would think that your buddy Greg Oden could help get you an exemption.

Well, Ohio and @THE HCP are both round at both ends, and hi in the middle.
