AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Texas A&M University sued the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday, saying the NFL team has violated its trademark "The 12th Man" through the unauthorized use of the phrase in marketing material and merchandise.
The university has been aggressive in defending the trademark associated with its nearly century-old tradition of "The 12th Man," taking on the likes of the Seattle Seahawks football team and a double amputee in Buffalo it suspected of trademark infringement.
