Trademark Letter And Striking Joe Paterno

I'm not a trademark expert but this is an interesting lawyer's letter regarding Jack Daniel's via Volokh.

Trademark logos are trickier but when it comes to single words, it tends to get a little absurd. No one should have a trademark or patent on a word.

Sticking with Volokh, a legal angle here

What happened at Penn St. was awful and brings into picture about - among other things - our moral obligations in life, but striking Penn State's wins between 1998-2011 was to remove Joe Paterno from the record books.

Didn't  Paterno win those games fair and square? And what about the players who were a part of those wins?

I guess people are just plain disappointed in Paterno. When they discovered he was a mere mortal they reacted predictably.
