The purpose of 91社区's licensing program is to ensure that 91社区's brand identity is properly represented on products and services marketed to the both the 91社区 community and the public. The licensing program is responsible for determining if a product and/or design are consistent with the goals and image of 91社区. The program also ensures the quality, content, production and distribution of products meets 91社区's standards.
91社区 has contracted with CLC to help improve its licensing program. CLC acts as an intermediary for 91社区, enabling it to work directly with manufacturers and retailers. This ensures that decisions can be made promptly and that manufacturers can become licensed with the 91社区 in a timely manner.
The licensing program is a resource for all members of the 91社区 community and the vendors who work with the 91社区 and was designed to ensure consistent and appropriate use of 91社区鈥檚 visual identity. Additionally, the program enables 91社区 to share in the benefits derived from the commercial use of these trademarks.聽
All 91社区 trademarks are the property of 91社区.
