Speak with a lawyer. Your school likely has legal help available (for free in some cases for students). If not you will need to go seek advice of a lawyer (preferable one that specializes in copyright/trademark disputes). The lawyer should be able to give you a frank opinion on how much of a case you actually have (something like “harvard problems” might be considered a common phrase while “harvardproblems” would be considered more unique and trademark-able).

One thing is for sure though, YOU CANNOT WAIT ON THIS. For trademark laws if you do not defend your trademark in a reasonable time frame you lose all rights to the trademark (this is the real reason why you see crazy lawsuits sometimes like the NFL suing churches for showing the super bowl because they are legally bound to do so).
