As reported on Deadspin, Boise State has long used a unique blue turf, and apparently even has a trademark on the term “Blue Turf.” When Oxford High recently installed a $300,000 blue turf field, Boise State’s general counsel warned them not to use the term “Blue Turf” “in promoting the field and events on it.” So… Oxford can have a blue turf. But they better not say that they do!
Trademark insanity.

The Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom (C4SIF) is dedicated to building public awareness of the manner in which so-called “intellectual property” (IP) laws and policies impede innovation, creativity, communication, learning, knowledge, emulation, and information sharing. We are for property rights, free markets, competition, commerce, cooperation, and the voluntary sharing of knowledge, and oppose IP laws, which systematically impede or hamper innovation. IP law should be completely and immediately abolished.
We provide news commentary and analysis and scholarly resources from our unique pro-property, pro-market, pro-innovation perspective.
