They should pay us a royalty on every battery that they sell. It can go into our NIL fund.
I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know exactly what this means, but it looks like this company has a trademark for this.

Iowa State copyright police are too busy chasing down anyone who might print a t-shirt for their local club to worry about that corporate level stuff.
And what if we are the infringers? Oh, no, back to walking Cy or punching wind bird!
The biggest myth when it comes to trademark/copy right is that it is universal and no one is allowed to use it.
You trademark in the industry or series of industries you work in. So for example I could trademark McDonald’s in the 3D design space (if it was free of course) and McDonald’s the fast food place would have no authority to do anything.
A famous example is Nissan Computers which owns Nissan.com has successfully won against Nissan Motor Company multiple times in trademark disputes.
Also why Burger King in Australia is called Hungry Jacks

Why did WWF the wrestling brand lose out to WWF the wildlife fund?
i didn't know cf had a community that was so invested into copyright infringement on the beloved I-STATE.
It's still WWF to me.
But excellent counter point.
Also no Wendy's as we know them in Europe
How This Tiny Dutch Restaurant is Keeping Wendy's Out of Europe
It’s fast food’s greatest David and Goliath story. You can’t get a Frosty in Europe, thanks (or no thanks) to this Dutch hole-in-the-wall.
Reading their Wikipedia page, it seems there was an agreement between them that Vince broke, so they sued them.
Like who could ever imagine Vince McMahon breaking an agreement with anyone...
Hey XFL is back! I went to check out their website and I see Hakeem was 2nd in total receiving yards for the 2023 season.
Apple Music (The Beatles) sued Apple Corp back in 1978. They settled both agreeing to not go into each other's line of business (music / computers) with the computer company paying $80k to settle. Apple Music sued twice more getting a larger sum out of the computer company when they introduced a synthesizer chip in their computers ($26.5M settlement) and again when Apple started iTunes and the iPod (Apple Music lost in court).
So it looks like they had a case even when they were in completely separate fields of industry but it certainly isn't ironclad since the Apple Computer lawyers were able to win the last suit.
Literally saw and IState Trucking semi today.
