NCAA: Vasectomy Mayhem trademark is 'confusingly similar' to March Mayhem

By Nick Bromberg, Yahoo Sports: If you saw a urology clinic advertising a “Vasectomy Mayhem” spring special would you get confused and think the NCAA was associated with the promotion in an official capacity? The NCAA sure thinks it’s possible.

The collegiate governing body filed a trademark cancellation request in February to stop a Virginia urology clinic’s use of the “Vasectomy Mayhem” phrase. In its filing, the NCAA argues that the clinic’s phrase is “confusingly similar” to “March Mayhem” and other trademarks that it currently holds.

The NCAA fears that the use of the phrase could make people believe the clinic was "legitimately connected" with the NCAA in an official capacity.
