I thought LSU owned GEAUX, so in turn ULL couldn't trade mark Geaux Cajuns.


Not true. Years ago I was selling t-shirts at Cafe Press and was attempting to use my screen name GeauxTiger as part of the marketing. Designs were not LSU specific, in that they had no LSU names or images, but merely my handle on them got LSU's attention.

LSU's attorney explained that I could use GEAUX, but not in combination with Tigers in any form, and could not use ANY image of a Tiger in combination with the colors purple and gold. The last one seemed completely unenforceable, but since I had no interest in fighting with LSU I just stopped.

Point is, they don't (or at least did not in 2001) own Geaux. It's used everywhere in the region.

Thank you for your response, that is an intelligent response that thoroughly answers any of my questions. The Rant needs more posters like you.

My screen name here used to be HeartOfGeauxld. Which was from the title of the dvd LSU released after the BCS title game vs tOSU.

Sounds like we had a similar experience...
