Licensing Agreements

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

The protection of the registered marks, "URANTIA" and the Concentric-Circles Symbol, has been greatly augmented by the signing of the revised Licensing Agreements by the URANTIA Societies this spring. These agreements will have a strengthening influence on the maintenance of the registered marks. Perhaps the importance of careful maintenance is underscored by the fact that the Foundation quite recently found it necessary to file suit against a firm using the word "URANTIA" in conjunction with its business as a massage parlor. A judgement and injunction have been obtained prohibiting further improper use of the mark "URANTIA." Such matters continue to absorb much of our time and resources. Nevertheless, it is gratifying to observe, almost a full generation since the publication of "The URANTIA Book," that the word "URANTIA" has retained its identity and special meaning.
