What is a trademark?
A trademark is a word, name, phrase, symbol or any combination thereof that identifies and distinguishes goods or services of one party from those of others. A trademark is a brand name. A trademark remains the property of the owner so long as the owner continues to use it properly and protects its authenticity as a trademark. Protecting FLC’s trademarks’ authenticity is our shared responsibility.
Fort Lewis College is the owner of specific trademarks, trade names, word marks and service marks including, but not limited to:
These are collectively called “marks.” At no time can Fort Lewis College Trademarks be altered.
