I'm too tired to delve into trademark law this evening (got an A in the course in law school  ). I will say that if they do have this trademark, the enforcement seems pretty selective, being that tons of other colleges used the 12th man.

no other college uses the 12th man like ATM and I don't even go there. The trademark that ATM was filed federally and they have won cases in the past concerning violations. If it were a state matter they wouldn't have file any reach with the Seattle Seahawks. Also, none of their past grievances were with in state organizations.
