Wisconsin, Washburn wrangling in court over ‘W’ logos (AP)

MADISON, Wis. – This legal dispute is sponsored by the letter W.

For the first time, the University of Wisconsin-Madison is taking another school to court to protect the trademark of its prized W logo.

The university filed a federal trademark infringement lawsuit last week against Washburn University in Topeka, Kan. The 7,200-student university uses a W to promote its athletics teams.
