it's about protecting our legal trademarks.

That I understand.
But why even let the TAMU trademarks be licensed at all?

So you can charge people when they try and market your shite... This is America, Bruh. It's not that big of a deal and although it may not seem like a lot of money, it's an added income for literally nothing. Capitalism, mayne. I'd be down for doing the same thing.

One of the reasons we licensed it to Seattle ... it set a precedent that we can use to enforce the trademark against anyone else in the future. The fact that somebody pays us a licensing fee is, in and of itself, evidence of a valid and enforceable trademark.

Bottom line: We didn't want to litigate it ... this time.

We originated the phrase. We own it. They stole it. They admitted it. They pay. All is good.
