Ohio State University successfully trademarks the word ‘the’

The Ohio State University has registered a trademark for the word “THE.”

The university began using “the” in 1986 to distinguish it from other universities with the same initials.

The university’s trademark and licensing program makes more than $12.5 million annually.

The word “the” will be used for branded products the university sells.
