The following is a list of vendors that are signatory to
the Trademark License Agreement with the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters (IBT) which grants permission to use the official IBT insignia. A
link from the website is provided for all affiliates to access the vendor
list.
The IBT is the owner of many federal trademark and service
mark registrations, including, but not limited to, the official IBT insignia and
the official IBT Centennial insignia.
The Office of the General Secretary-Treasurer maintains and
continuously updates the list of all licensed vendors. It should be noted
that the list is only as current as the date viewed and should be revisited
frequently for any updates as vendors are added, information edited, as well
as deletion of vendors. Moreover, any vendor used by an affiliate should be
able to also produce a current and valid Trademark License Agreement for
verification purposes; however, if you have questions, contact the Office of the
General Secretary-Treasurer to determine whether a vendor is currently signatory
to the Trademark License Agreement.
Vendors who are not signatory to the Trademark License
Agreement are not permitted to reproduce any of the official IBT insignias.
Moreover, even if signatory to a current and valid license agreement, no
vendor has authority to alter the IBT insignia in any manner. This
prohibition includes super-imposing anything in such a manner as to cover any
part of the insignia. Affiliation references, such as local union, joint
council, or conference names and numbers may only be applied above, below,
beside or encircling the official IBT insignia.
All affiliates are reminded that it remains the policy of
the International Union that use of any of the official IBT insignias can
only be granted to a unionized company using union-made goods produced in North
America. Therefore, please ensure that any of the official IBT
insignias are adhered only to goods that are union-made in North America by
companies signatory to the Trademark License Agreement with the International
Union.
Thank you for your cooperation in protecting the official
insignias of the IBT.
