West Virginia University and MivaMan LLC/Fastees.com have agreed to settle the University’s case challenging the company’s use of certain trademarks.

WVU alleged MivaMan had intentionally infringed on a variety of WVU marks by mimicking uniforms of the athletic teams, WVU’s official colors and WVU’s official typeface on more than 15 offensive items.

Earlier today (April 10), U.S. District Judge Frederick Stamp entered an order jointly prepared by WVU and Mivaman formally ending the case. In the order, MivaMan agreed to stop producing certain items which WVU believed to be infringing or dilutive of WVU’s trademarks and also agreed to take other actions designed to avoid trademark issues in the future.

In exchange, the University agreed not to pursue its complaint. No monetary damages were awarded.
