The Board of Regents of the University of Houston System on June 27 followed through with its threat to sue the newly named Houston College of Law over its name and colors.

The University of Houston alleges in a complaint that South Texas College of Law’s decision to change its name to one that is “strikingly similar” to the University of Houston Law Center and to adopt its red and white colors infringes on the University of Houston’s intellectual property and also violates unfair competition laws in Texas.
