Thanks. I was going to go talk to one of the guys in our IP practice, but didn't really care enough to do so.
As I mentioned, this is outside of my practice area.

Really? So even though LSU paid some company back in 2002 to create this font for them, and they've kept it in house (obviously someone with access to it grabbed it in this case...though I've never been able to to!!) they have no control over it?
Seems odd...not sure why that would be any different than some other form of mark.
Any more info on this would be cool to hear...
ETA: Who fricking downvotes a question? Buncha' savages...

TIL

The names of particular fonts may be protected by a trademark. This is the weakest form of protection because only the font name itself is being protected. For example, the letters that make up the trademarked font Palatino can be copied but the name must be changed.

You're correct. Only the name can be protected. Surprising to say the least.
