MA’s IP Policies and Procedures, and the Service Manual, state, in part:
“any member, group/meeting, or district/region that seeks to use MA’s Trademarks… must obtain the express permission from MA World Services for the uses listed below by contacting [email protected] and signing a basic written licensing agreement granting specific permission…”
“MA World Services’…policy is to allow members, groups, meetings, districts, and regions to use the MA name and logo freely, provided it is being used properly in support of MA’s primary purpose of helping the marijuana addict who still suffers, and in ways that will not harm MA’s reputation.”
“It is legally necessary for MA World Services to obtain signed written agreements from anyone currently using the MA name or logo, or anyone who intends to do so in the future for any purpose, including but not limited to, the following uses on: websites; flyers or other promotional materials for fellowship activities, including Conventions, Soberthons, Mini-Conventions, workshops, or any other non-World Services gatherings or events; “t-shirts, other clothing, mugs or any other similar merchandise (including those items produced for MA Conventions); or on milestone recovery-based chips, coins, medallions or any other similar products.”
