Newcastle University has
applied to trademark a rude word in an attempt to rebrand itself. The
University has submitted an application to patent C*NT - or Central University
of Newcastle upon Tyne.
If you are a student of the
university I guess when someone asks you “in which university do you study?”,
your reply would be “C*NT”. How original!
A Newcastle University
spokesman claimed that they have registered these new trademarks to help
students who may be searching for them on the web, international students in
particular.
It would be interesting to
see the other rude words organisations apply to patent.
