SPORTS OF THE DAILY: USOC sues company for using trademark KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)-The U.S. Olympic Committee is suing a Kansas City company for min- ting an Olympic boycott medal that allegedly used the committee's trademarks without permission. The suit filed in U.S. District Court Monday said the medal minted by the Gold Standard Corp. used the word "Olympic" and "representations intended to simulate the appearance of the Olympic em- blems"-a torch aRod five interlocking rings-without the USOC's permission. CONRAD BRAUN, Gold Standard's president who flew to the Soviet Union last month to present the medal to Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov, said he was shocked at the committee's action. "I'm really surprised they are doing such a thing," Braun said. "I was just trying to make a patriotic gesture by minting the medal and trying to present Braun said he was not able to meet Sakharov on his" trip but presented the medal to an intermediary who was to try to present it to Sakharov. The dissident scientist has been exiled from Moscow to Gorki. "We did research before marketing this medal to make sure we weren't infringing. And we aren't," said Braun. "The U.S. Olympic Committee doesn't have a monopoly on America's Olympic boycott. We did that as a nation."
