Still....

Oh no!!!!

Still waiting...

Didn't it get moved again so both parties can reach a settlement?

Maybe Duke will find something else to go mad about. This is fun

Well him and his brother Mortimer did try to sabotage the F.C.O.J. market.

A whole lot of nothing...

BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Don't forget he is prepared to file charges against us. So we should all be ready for a lawsuit against A&M for fraud.

Duke moving goal posts as usual. What a delusional person.

I don't know if Rovell has his facts straight or not, but I can assure you that the university is never again going to file suit against the Colts if the team doesn't quit using the trademark. The Colts have all the information they need to crush TAMU. I still think it is rather chicken**** (for lack of a better word) that the university thinks the terms of the agreement need to be kept as a state secret. As a state entity, the university should be as transparent as they can be in their business dealings and nothing about the settlement of a suit regarding intellectual property that belongs to the people of the state of Texas needs to be kept from the people of the state of Texas.

Last year the university tried to go after Chuckie Sonntag and they ended up paying him to get him to agree to a confidentiality agreement. This time they tried to sue the Colts and didn't get a dime. There won't be another attempt to defend their trademark. Their 12th Man tradition did not originate in 1922 with E. King Gill. There is no way around that fact.

Lol

I'm calling this an Aggie trolling them and us. Where's Vader these days?

Statement from the colts

BOOM! Randolph Duke is really dead this time. This will kill him.

"In the end we decided the phrase itself was more important to Texas A&M than to us and we didn't feel making a change was a big issue for the vast majority of Colts fans," Colts chief operating officer Pete Ward said. "It wasn't worth a battle with the university. We will still recognize our crowd in the Ring of Honor in a manner to be announced in the near future."

The lawsuit said the Colts' use of the phrase would "cause confusion or deceive customers" about an affiliation with Texas A&M and "dilute and/or tarnish the distinctiveness and fame" the school receives from the trademark.

The Colts used the trademark to help sell tickets and merchandise, including an ad urging fans to "Join the 12th Man." The team also sold a "12th Man" blanket online. Both examples were included in the lawsuit.

Trademark owners who don't police the unauthorized use of a trademark risk losing the legal rights to it, according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

The university said the Colts agreed informally in 2006 not to use "12th Man" outside the RCA Dome, and that the Colts didn't respond to letters about the issue from Texas A&M in 2008 and 2012.

Kind of cool how slow persistent requests without an effort to appear to "make money" off of the trademark has gradually convinced others to further avoid using it. The Colts' statement suggests that it just wasn't a big deal to them and that they understood it was to A&M. That allowed them to save face publicly. Win-win.

I have no clue how people get so amped up on these kinds of issues, especially when they seem to be so completely uninvolved. Hope he enjoyed his 15 minutes.

Why doesn't he just start making money off the term and then battle A&M himself? It should be easy with all his "facts" and then he'd be the ruler of all Longhorns forever..

Very entertaining off season thread. This guy should require around the clock medical attention. He kind of reminds me of the brother on Better call Saul, I can see him setting in his living room wrapped in the security of an aluminum foil blanket.

If anyone wants to read the full settlement.. Well you're a special kind of strange, but here it is

In the movie, Randolph won. In this **** show, not so much.
