After decades of fighting, Grambling State University has officially secured a federal trademark for their historic “G” logo. The registration of the mark, which has been in use since the 1970s, had gone through several attempts and refusals, mostly due to it being similar to marks  associated with the Green Bay Packers and University of Georgia.

📍A release on the grambling1901 website earlier this week states:

“This milestone follows a strategic and collaborative process led by the Division of Administration and Business Affairs, working closely with external counsel, Kean Miller, to address prior refusals and navigate complex considerations involving other nationally recognized “G” marks, including those associated with the Green Bay Packers and University of Georgia. 

Throughout the process, all parties engaged in a professional and thoughtful dialogue to ensure that the respective marks could coexist with clear, explicit distinctions. Through careful refinement of the application, negotiated agreements, and compelling legal arguments demonstrating the distinctiveness and longstanding use of Grambling State’s mark, the University successfully secured approval.”
