Middle school must change its mascot, U of Cincinnati says
Briefly

A Tennessee middle school, prompted by a cease-and-desist from the University of Cincinnati, is changing its mascot and logo due to trademark infringement claims.
The middle school initially tried to alter its logo but faced continued insistence from UC that the name 'Bearcats' could not be used due to copyright protections.
Xavier University offered assistance in rebranding Cheatham Middle School's mascot, suggesting adoption of 'Musketeers,' while asserting their trademark rights.
Xavier stated that the nickname 'Musketeers' is available for use, aligning it with other common school nicknames like 'Bulldogs' or 'Wildcats', as trademark protections allow.
