REGIONAL CHARITY OBTAINS SERVICE MARK REGISTRATION
DERWOOD, Md., March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Celestial Manna®, one of the oldest food rescue charities in Maryland, has something new on its website. Earlier this year, the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) recognized the unique standing of this 37-year-old charity by granting a Trade Mark on the name, and a Service Mark on the symbol. Written as the letters TM inside a circle, a Registered Trademark designation indicates uniqueness in the marketplace and helps protect the organization from impersonation.
