Notre Dame Football vs Ohio State Prologue: “THE” Trademark War

It’s officially the offseason for Notre Dame athletics. If you haven’t already, it’s time to start counting down the days to Notre Dame football’s matchup with THE™ Ohio State Buckeyes to open the 2022 season.

And speaking of Ohio State, notice the trademark symbol above, because they finally succeeded in trolling the rest of the college football universe by trademarking the word “THE.”

The Ohio State University has successfully registered a trademark for "THE."

The registration was just issued on June 21st by the USPTO.
