Kansas Wins Lawsuit Against Retailer

July 16, 2008 RSS Feed Print

The University of Kansas has won its lawsuit against a local T-shirt retailer, Joe-College.com, which will have to pay $127,337 to the school and stop selling 50 T-shirt styles because of trademark infringement, the University Daily Kansan reports.

The university sued the company for selling unlicensed goods and had originally asked the federal jury for a $500,000 judgment. Kansas's victory is even less complete since Joe-College will still be allowed to sell the controversial "Muck Fizzou" shirts.
