Request to trademark 'The Alamo' halted by state

Tom Benning follows up on yesterday's story:
An attempt by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas to register a trademark of “The Alamo” has been halted – at least temporarily – by the state of Texas.


The state requested and received a 90-day extension from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Wednesday to look more closely into the matter and to determine if the state wants to oppose the trademark. At issue is that the state owns the Alamo property, although the Daughters have operated and maintained the iconic San Antonio site since 1905.
