Bill Schackner, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; We Are! Not happy! U.S. Patent office frowns on Penn State trademark request

and another reason the agency refused the application: the trademark as
submitted was deemed "ornamental.''

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.""
