Ohio State is taking legal action against an Ann Arbor restaurant that is seeking to trademark a drink called “Buckeye tears.”
The Brown Jug filed to trademark the term for beer and liquor in August, but on Wednesday, Ohio State filed a formal opposition Wednesday in a bid to halt the case, via Katie Millard of NBC4 in Columbus. The university is seeking to protect its trademark, and is concerned that the drink could cause people to mistakenly believe it is endorsed by the school.
Unsurprisingly, the restaurant has struck a defiant tone, posting on social media that they will continue to serve the drink and have been “serving them for years.”
