The Collegiate Licensing Company Re: Unauthorized Use of University Trademarks Dear Sir or Madam: The Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) hereby protests your company's unauthorized use of trademarks of several institutions represented by CLC on [list of items]. These products are being offered for sale on your website, [www.allegedinfringer.com]. Your company must immediately cease and desist using the trademarks, names, logos, colors, slogans, mascots and other indicia associated with the institutions. CLC is the authorized licensing representative of the universities, colleges, bowls and athletic conferences on the attached list. CLC represents these institutions in connection with the licensing, protection and enforcement names, logos, slogans, mascots and other proprietary rights (hereinafter “Marks”). The institutions own all rights, title and interest in their respective marks. Accordingly, no one is authorized to manufacture, distribute, advertise, offer for sale and/or sell any products bearing the Marks without the express written permission of CLC and/or the institutions. Notwithstanding this, it has come to our attention that you and/or you company are using the Marks of several institution represented by CLC in violation of federal and state laws. Your company's unauthorized use of the marks constitutes infringement and unfair competition in that your company's customers will erroneously believe that these items have been licensed, sponsored or authorized by CLC and/or the institutions, In addition, your company's use of the Marks without approval will dilute their distinctiveness by trading upon the goodwill and reputation that the public associates with the institutions and their Marks. It will also interfere with CLC's merchandising and licensing of the Marks for the institutions. On behalf of the institutions on the attached list, CLC demands that you and each and every person or company affiliated with you immediately discontinue the sale, offering for sale and/or distribution of any unauthorized products containing their marks. CLC further demands that you advise us in writing of you company's compliance with the foregoing and furnish us a list describing each item manufactured and/or sold by your company which bears the marks of any of the institutions and each item that your company presently has in inventory. Include the number and sales price of each item as well as profits earned. This information will be used to determine the amount of damages and legal costs due for your company's unauthorized use of the Marks. Unless CLC receives a comprehensive response to this letter in writing by [insert date desired], including assurances that your company has ceased to infringe on the Marks, we will advise the institutions accordingly and suggest a course of legal action. This letter is without prejudice to any claim for damages or other relief in the event that litigation proves necessary. James D. Aronowitz Associate General Counsel cc: Bruce Siegal, Vice President and General Counsel, CLC
