WACO, Texas — It's BU vs. BU. Baylor University is taking Boston University to court over the use of a logo.

In a lawsuit filed in a Texas federal district court, Baylor is taking issue with Boston University's use of an "interlocking BU design" that is nearly identical to the Waco university's long-standing logo. The filing claims the Massachusetts college is infringing on Baylor's federal trademark.

Baylor has used the same interlocking BU logo since at least 1912, according to the filing, and has multiple federal and state trademark registrations for it covering clothing, merchandise, and more.

Boston University has long used a logo with a side-by-side BU logo. The design sometimes consists of only the two letters, but often also features the university's mascot, a Boston Terrier.
