Federal Judge Rules for University of Miami in Trademark Dispute with Caneup; Bootleg UM Trump Merchandise Surfaces

A federal district judge has ruled in favor of the University of Miami in a trademark dispute with Caneup concerning the national fame of the university's brand, specifically its 'Canes' and 'U' logos. The judge's decision followed a magistrate's finding that these brands did not reach the level of 'truly famous' brands such as Budweiser and Barbie. Meanwhile, reports have emerged of bootleg merchandise being sold that features the University of Miami's 'U' logo in place of the 'U' in 'Trump.' This merchandise is being sold by a recently-retired Miami-Dade police officer, and it has gained popularity among UM football fans attending games.
