Bill Schackner, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; We Are! Not happy! U.S. Patent office frowns on Penn State trademark request
"Josh Gerben, a trademark attorney in Washington, D.C., offered an
analysis via twitter of the geographic issue raised by the Patent Office
and another reason the agency refused the application: the trademark as
submitted was deemed "ornamental.''
He said both issues are correctable...
Of the ornamental issue, he said, "I believe this is trademarks 101
and it shocks me every time a large institution or organization gets it
wrong.""
