KU seeks sanctions against clothing store
The University of Kansas is renewing its fight against a Lawrence clothing store for trademark violations.
A federal jury in July determined Joe-College.com, owner Larry Sinks and screen printer Clark Orth “willfully infringed” the university’s trademarks on Jayhawk-themed T-shirts. Jurors ordered the defendants to pay $127,000 to the school and said around 50 designs were infringing.
An attorney for Sinks says there’s been confusion over which designs are now off-limits. But university officials say Sinks is clearly violating the jury’s decision.
