Can “Space City” be an Owned Trademark?

For an acerbic, and highly humorous, article on the trademark wrangling between the Houston Convention Bureau and “Space City Comic Con” see this article here.

But the dispute masks an interesting point about trademark law. One of the bedrock principles of trademark is that an owner must police its own trademark, and take action against potentially infringing uses. In this case, the convention bureau appears to have let four years pass before taking action against the comic convention? Is that too much time? Has the bureau possible lost some of its trademark rights by delaying? Or are they overreaching anyway, regardless of the amount of time? “Time” and the courts may tell.
