Terrence Mawawa|The University of Zimbabwe (UZ) is demanding $ 2 million from the
Catholic University in Zimbabwe over alleged trademark infringement.

The UZ is arguing that CUZ has
been calling itself the Catholic University Of Zimbabwe, which has resulted in some people thinking that it is linked to the University of Zimbabwe.

“Plaintiff(UZ) is the registered owner in Zimbabwe of the trademark
‘University of Zimbabwe’…Since its
incorporation and in recent times, first defendant (CUZ) has been using a mark consisting of the words ‘Catholic University of Zimbabwe’ in relation to its services as a trademark without permission from the plaintiff…in violation of its charter, the first defendant, has on several occasions, traded or operated as the Catholic University of Zimbabwe instead of Catholic University in Zimbabwe…

As a result, plaintiff suffered damages of $2 million being for trademark infringement…” read part of a court document compiled by UZ lawyers.
