Important Notice Regarding
Use of "Super Bowl" and Other
Trademarked Phrases
Just a word about using the
words “Super Bowl” in ads. Don’t. While we are all tempted
to use the words “Super Bowl” for advertisement and contests
of all sorts, just a friendly reminder that the NFL has the
trademark on that phrase. It’s OK to use the name and the
logos for news purposes, but the league doesn’t want it to
be used beyond that unless they’ve licensed it. The league
is also claiming ownership of “Who Dat?” but that one isn’t
quite as definitive at this point. Many of of you are
probably aware that the NCAA has similar restrictions on the
use of “Final Four” and "March Madness" and a whole host of
phrases it has trademarked. Also the Olympics places
restrictions on the use of it’s name and logo. So be careful
out there.
Here's a Washington Post article on the topic.

NewspaperProject.org was launched in 2009 by a small group of
newspaper executives to support a constructive exchange of
information and ideas about the future of newspapers. While we
acknowledge the challenges facing the newspaper industry in today’s
rapidly changing media world, we reject the notion that
newspapers—and the valuable content that newspaper journalists
provide—have no future.
Unlike websites that feature negative, gloom-and-doom stories about
newspapers, this website will be devoted to insightful articles,
commentary and research that provide a more balanced perspective on
what newspaper companies can do to survive and thrive in the years
ahead.
