The "NODAK" Trademark

[tnt]

Wonder if Berry can make as much as the consultant firm did that gave us their doodling.   Maybe an investigation needs to be taken up on that end as well.

Got a link to the article you mention? 

The timeline mention only makes things look worse. (Smoking gun?) 

The NODAK whites were 2021; the Vegas were 2022. 

Not a Brad article, it was a video feature.  Takes 1.5 to 2 years for the design process, according to Dan the equipment manager.  Who knows when the Nodak idea itself was born. Start at the 2:35 mark.

I find it funny that Port found this out but yet Brad Schlossman is silent on the matter.

Schloss probably in a tough spot on this story...

If anything....

all this is just another huge black eye for the University of North Dakota's horrendous licensing and marketing dept.

Or..... or......  there's not the story here the highspeed Hawkzi kabal wants there to be and they had to farm it out to the sleeziest masterclickbaiter in the state....

 

What's more likely.. consider the others that also passed on it.

Berry would be far better off if nary a dollar has struck his hands.
Pretty sure a hired consultant isn't looking at a conflict of interest.
Sections 1 and 5 are problematic for anyone who knew.

The way the State policy is written just the appearance of conflict of interest or self dealing invokes the policy.

Here we agree.
How'd they let a word they don't control onto a jersey.

I know...

But you're not going to like the answer... and the Univ. does not want to talk about it.

[The Sicatoka]

I'm quite sure this alleged "highspeed Hawkzi kabal" did not:

- force Brianna Berry to acquire a TM on NODAK
- force Brad Berry to put it on a jersey

I'm quite sure folks that favored the third place finisher in the nickname vote accomplished that on their own.

Have you seen all the unlicensed stuff for sale on the Facebook site? Is UND unaware the site exists?

Very much so... 

They've taken actions. You just don't see it as someone else pops up just as quick.

Key is action is being taken to protect.

You have to admit there a difference between a Chinese sweatshop doing it and UND cutting a PO and doing unlicensed usage of someone else's TM.

Do we know for certain whether or not NODAK LLC was paid for use of their trademarked word?

If Berry was all about money, why did he gift those scholarships to students last year?   

I was responding to the post below.  I don't think Berry is all about money.  I think his daughter saw an opportunity and took it.  For his sake, I hope he was unaware.

You have to be kidding yourself if you think the Berry's are not making money off of this "Nodak" name.

I wonder if there's any other ventures this or similar corporate entities have undertaken?
