I could be patently wrong but I don't think patent comes into play.
You can tradmark a phrase, "Ragin' Cajuns" is a phrase.
I think you are right about the protection being limited to where you told the trademark office it was relevant.
That would not stop Louisiana from expanding its area of relevance, but that requires work and corralling cats in the wild requires even more real work.
Trademark protection is the only option.

Presenting a new initiative to a fanbase will cost money no matter how organic it is. But if you were to pay a marketing firm to create a character, the university would have to cover the cost of the research and development, the design phase, and buy all trademarks associated, this is all before the cost of print and rollout.
What I’ve done is pretty much most of the research and development portion. The university can still design the character how they want. And since Albineaux is my original IP, all they would need to do is talk to me to create the trademark. Which is what I’m trying to get them to do while I’m not seeking a dime from them.
Out athletic budget operated at 5 million dollar deficit last year. I’m barking up the wrong tree if I was doing this for money haha.
Hopefully we can get the Al the mascot approved .
Mascot we don’t need no freaking mascot.
It’s been so heartwarming to see how well received phase 2 of Albineaux has been.
I see young people who never post about UL picking up the Albineaux banner with Ragin Cajun pride. Seeing them lose their apathy is just so awesome to see.
I hope 2024 is an amazing year for the Ragin Cajun faithful.
Well, look no further than the billboard at Johnston and CD Boulevard to see the effort coming from MH. Only one I’ve seen. Can’t even remember exactly what it says.
Saw Couillion on TV today. Great presentation on Albineaux.
