Is this for real? At a minimum, trademark issue. Muslim only?

Muslims are within their rights to start a university. But "TexAM University" sounds suspiciously like "Texas A&M University".

Texas American Muslim University is branding itself as TexAM University. Time to pay the lawyers.

I think they should call themselves TAMU. Problem solved.

I just sent an email to licensing@tamu.edu alerting them to the issue. Recommend y'all do the same.

"These principles will serve as the foundation of how TexAm will operationalize honoring its mission as a land-grant institution in the 21st century."

Mandatory Islamic studies. If they are getting tax dollars, that is a big nope.

OK yeah, once the old white guy left, I see the rebrand, I guess.

We're supposed to be mad about this, yes?

Is this a joke?

IP can definitely be a confusing area of the law but this isn't even close. Likelihood of confusion reigns supreme here.

When the truth comes out, do not ask me how I knew.
Ask yourself why you did not.

Would your average person think that maybe this brand was related to Texas a&m university at first blush?

If so, this is trademark infringement.

I bet the Muslims back down on this one. Drop the A. Texas MA U or the like would fly. This is blatant infringement.

What the hell is a Texas American Muslim anyways?

Will they have a football team?

I'll be pissed if they win a natty before we do.

Kinda funny seeing people say "who cares" - I guess they have no idea what trademark infringement is and why it has to be defended against.

I guess these are the same people who wonder why the University of Wisconsin bothered to send The Woodlands High School ceases and desist letters over their logo.

The "who cares?" crowd never ceases to amaze me. Y'all go be too cool for school on some other thread.

This is utterly ridiculous and WILL cause confusion.

You can be a non-catholic and go to Notre Dame. You don't have to be Baptist and can go to Baylor. An institution that discriminates based on religion should receive $0 federal or state dollars. If they are completely privately funded then I guess they can have at it.

Anyone else wonder why all of these Islamic only things are cropping up in Texas? There was the development in north TX where only Muslims could buy land and now this. Or is this happening everywhere and I only pay attention to what happens in Texas?
