Wir sollten uns auch mal so Geld beschaffen. Jedes RAMS-INFO Mitglied malt bis nächste Woche einen Vogel. Dann verklagen wir die NFL. Und von dem Geld fahren wir alle zu einem RAMS-Heimspiel.

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court passed up a chance Monday to settle a multimillion-dollar dispute between an artist and the NFL over a logo for the Baltimore Ravens.




Frederick Bouchat had sued and won a jury decision, claiming the NFL stole his idea for a logo for the Ravens. But at a follow-up trial two years ago, jurors said he was not entitled to a share of the team's profits from logo merchandise. He had sought $10 million.


Bouchat's lawyer had contended the verdict against him provides "powerful and savvy market entities with a license to steal." Justices declined without comment to consider the case.


Bouchat, a security guard and amateur artist, had drawn the design of a bird and shield in 1995, before the expansion team's name or logo were chosen. The Ravens' initial logo featured outspread raven wings flanking a shield bearing the letter "B."


The attorney for the Ravens and the NFL said the logo did not boost sales of merchandise.
