A federal judge denied motions on both sides last week in the continuing T-shirt battle between Kansas University and Joe-College.com.

The two sides have been embroiled in a lawsuit that alleged the shirt retailer had been selling shirts infringing on KU’s trademarks. A jury returned a complicated verdict allowing some shirt sales while disallowing others last July.

KU had sought to recoup $1.4 million in legal fees from Joe-College and further penalize the shirt seller for continuing to sell shirts in violation of a court order. The university had also sought triple profits and royalties from the shirts in question.

Joe-College had asked that the original amount of profits and royalties awarded to KU be lowered from about $127,000 to $38,196, and that some shirts included in the original jury verdict last July be removed.

U.S. District Court Judge Julie Robinson denied both requests last week.

In a ruling, she said that evidence supported the claim that Joe-College owner Larry Sinks and his attorneys misunderstood an order asking them to stop selling some shirts that Robinson included in an order in December.

Robinson clarified a previous ruling, and said that future violations of the court’s orders would result in Sinks being held in contempt.

The store had already stopped selling the shirts included in the original jury verdict.
