District Court, W.D. Pennsylvania June 23, 1983, Civ. A. 81-2167 (University of Pittsburgh v. Champion Products, Inc.)

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

COHILL, District Judge.

Introduction

This is the second set of findings of fact and conclusions of law we have issued in this case.

We have considerable sympathy for the plaintiff, University of Pittsburgh (“Pitt”). The notion that a university’s name and insignia are its own property, to do with as it chooses, has a certain common-sense appeal.
