Additionally, National Emblem Sales has been delegated,
by the National Adjutant, the task of administering use of the emblem on
manufactured goods. The name and emblem
of The American Legion are registered service marks in the U.S. Trademark
Office and are protected by criminal and civil enforcement provisions of
federal law (18 U.S.C. S 705 and 36 U.S.C. SS 44 and 48). However, by authority of May 1947 Resolution
Number 71, the National Organization may grant permission to use the name and
emblem in accordance with Resolution Number 71, other Resolutions and U.S.
Trademark Law. In order for permission
to be granted, a request must be submitted in writing, through Department
Adjutant who will forward the request to National Emblem Sales. The following information must be included
with the request: 1) name and address of
requesting Post, 2) name and address of manufacturer, 3) description of item to
be manufactured, 4) quantity to be manufactured, 5) cost each, 6) assurances
that the item is made in the United States, 7) purpose of which item is to be
used (must be for Post use, not purchased for re-sell). Authority may then be granted on a one-time
basis only; additional orders require new authority, and the manufacturer must
not produce more items than that being ordered.
National Emblem Sales is pleased to serve you regardless

continuing activity in The American Legion, you will find this service division
of valuable assistance in carrying out the programs of your Post. See page 4-51
