k, i'm not saying that someone can legally own an acronym, i believe the acronym itself has to be copyrighted for that to happen, i'm saying that martha piper, the president of ubc, is the second most powerful woman in bc, she has a lot of say in matters like these believe it or not. With the regards to an incident involving UNBC, nothing to do with the newly named UBC of kelowna, she expressed her anger over the infringement on the BC being added to the end of the universities name without consultation prior becasue she believes that BC relates only to UBC and UBC related campus (ie. kelowna's campus) therefore she felt they had infringed on the trademark and in some nature the prestige that her institute had worked so hard to obtain. Because of this incident it is very well known that if one is to use BC at the end of their institutes name there must first be a consultation with her prior.
