[QUOTE="volboy, post: 5704563, member: 21832"] Actually there was almost a lawsuit over the interlocking UT between the 2 universities back in the mid 80s. They came to an agreement as noted below. One of my professors in a Business Law was one of the attorneys that worked on this for Tennessee. We would hear about it a lot during his class. At about this time is also when Tennessee went predominantly to the Power T an away from the UT logo. Then funny about 15 or so years later Texas began using their version the power T. In 1986 the University of Tennessee and the University of Texas agreed to share the well-known interlocking "UT" trademark that both schools use. Tennessee applied for registration of the trademark for the sale of jewelry, paper, metal and leather goods, as well as printed matter, housewares, glassware, and clothing. Texas owned registration of the trademark for educational and entertainment goods. Tennessee's and Texas's trademarks are different but similar enough to cause confusion to manufacturers, who have used them interchangeably in the past. The agreement gave Texas commercial rights to the trademark west of the Mississippi River and Tennessee the rights east of the Mississippi and in West Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana (home of LSU).
