I just noticed a local high school stealing Clemson's paw


Oct 21, 2011, 10:58 PM

http://basketball-girls.stafford.northhigh.schoolfusion.us/modules/groups/integrated_home.phtml?gid=214114&sessionid=5f730698ea9ae333a5289ac...

This High School is RIGHT down the street from me. I see these paws on shirts as well as purple paws just like this as giant magnets on vehicles.

I just saw where FSU went after a school for copyright purposes. Would Clemson ever go after this?

Also, it pisses me off because everytime I wear my Clemson shirts with Tiger paws that don't flat-out say "Clemson" on them, people ask me about North Stafford High School. Hopefully after this year they'll realize what the school is doing.

Clemson did get a Service mark/ trade mark and has stopped


Oct 21, 2011, 9:43 AM

people from using it in the past. This is a blatant infringement , down to the scar mark at the bottom right of the paw. That little mark that you see on all Clemson paws was an actual scar on the tiger's paw they used for the print they obtained from an illinois zoo back in 1970. If this was brought to their attention, I'm sure they would take action

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Clemson failed to copyright the paw to the fullest extent it


Oct 21, 2011, 11:03 PM

could have. Only a very unique version of the paw is trademarked by the university.

so that paw isn't Clemson's?


Oct 21, 2011, 11:04 PM

I've compared them and they look EXACTLY alike.

the copyright is in the tilt, I believe.***

Did they get permission from Clemson to use it?


Oct 21, 2011, 11:04 PM

Most high schools usually go through the proper channels for their logos and uniforms. In most cases schools or pro teams that own the copyrights will allow high schools to use their stuff, sometimes with a couple of restrictions though. Honestly if a high school isn't creating their own stuff, they should know they need permission and if they don't ask it's kind of stupid on their part imo.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

people up here in Stafford can't even spell or say Clemson


Oct 21, 2011, 11:08 PM

correctly.

tnet-military.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

There are a bunch of schools in Georgia who use very similar


Oct 21, 2011, 11:10 PM

Tiger Paws too. Metter, GA is one that comes to mind. I had people ask me if I were a Metter person.

And Claxton, GA even has the fish hook and the same tilt.***

weird, that badger at the top of the screen does not look like he could make said print. Is this one of those war eagle things?

Oct 21, 2011, 11:23 PM

Orange tiger paw in the middle of my back window and everyone thought I had a kid at North Stafford too. It has the little "crook" in it...That's got to be TM infringement. A standard paw, OK, but it has the intricacies of ours and the cast that made the original.

really think we should sue them...

My rival high school...Parkview High School in Atlanta...


Oct 21, 2011, 11:30 PM

used the paw as well. Theirs may not have had the defined edges and "J-Hook" that Clemson's has, but whenever I would wear Clemson stuff to school people were like ###.

It looks like their actual logo is a modified version of our paw. No hook, and they have added claws since their mascot is a wolverine.

The girl's basketball webpage has a different one...the one


Oct 22, 2011, 12:03 AM

that is causing the contention.

tnet-military.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

yeah their paw isn't even close


Oct 22, 2011, 4:36 AM [ in reply to Re: I just noticed a local high school stealing Clemson's paw ]

looks like someone just used the wrong paw on their girls basketball page.

2025 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I think you should kill everyone involved.


Oct 21, 2011, 11:58 PM

Magnet on a vehicle? Blow it up. See it on someone's shirt? Slit their throat and rip the shirt off of their body before their blood can stain it. You're wasting time with these wordy posts...get out there and hurt some people!

High school we probably leave alone


Oct 22, 2011, 12:06 AM

Another college would be a different story. Keep playing well and it will just get us more exposure. Every high school will want to copy us.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

If the paw isn't tilted to 1 o' clock it can be used******

What is their mascot?


Oct 22, 2011, 3:34 AM

Looks like a bear. with tiger paws.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Wow, a carbon copy...right down to the tilt and the scar


Oct 22, 2011, 3:50 AM

Whoever is responsible had to know what they were doing, because they took out the ® in the bottom right of the paw.
One would have to think that they got permission from the University, but who knows
