The University of Texas Board of Regents is accusing a small Corpus Christi meat market of profiting off the school’s Longhorn logo, according to a federal trademark infringement lawsuit.
The board filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of Texas last week against Staples Street Meat Market, a small Corpus Christi butcher shop. The university is accusing the business of copying the school’s Longhorn silhouette logo. The business has nearly 700 reviews on Google and 45,000 followers on facebook. The business’ owner, Michael Meehan, also is named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
Neither Staples Street Meat Market nor representatives of UT were available for comment Sunday…
