CMU

CMU is an acronym for three different universities: *Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania *Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, Michigan *Chiang Mai University in Chiangmai, Thailand Central Michigan University claims "CMU" as a trademark: [http://www.cmich.edu/licensing/faqs.htm]. A search through the United States Patent and Trademark Office's trademark database will show that the trademark is not registered. However, when Carnegie Mellon tried to register the trademark "CMU," it failed when Central Michigan objected, claiming prior use. Regardless of the legal angle, Carnegie Mellon's official policy is to eschew the use of the acronym on official materials, in recognition of Central Michigan's claimed priority. (This policy, naturally, has absolutely no effect on the acronym's unofficial popularity, and the domain name www.cmu.edu remains the official website of Carnegie Mellon University.)

CMU

Central Michigan does not own the trademark to CMU. Do a search on USPTO's trademark website to prove it to yourself. Please stop propogating the false statement. :I agree with Andres. :) Your edit that the copyright issue was a "myth" was way out of line and non-NPOV. I think the current version (comment "wait--this is better") is NPOV and accurate, except for the "Carnegie Mellon tried to trademark CMU" anecdote, which I hadn't heard; feel free to clarify. Look at the page history; this war has been going back and forth since August. :Furthermore, regardless of whether or not Central Mich owns the trademark, it's certainly verifiable that (1) Central Mich say they do, and (2) Carnegie Mellon agrees with them. Happy New Year. —ajo, 1 Jan
