I clicked on the link and the licensed vendor page and all it said was this:
The following vendors are the only approved & licensed vendors (valid until December 31, 2003) for Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Any other vendor selling and/or distributing pariphernilla bearing any of the fraternities registered trademarks & logos should be reported to the Corporate Headquaters at:
It didn't specify specifically what is a registered trademark or logo. Help a nosey sista out!
I checked because I was surprised to hear that a year could be tradmarked. I understand how a particular logo containing the year as part of the design could be trademarked, but just the use of a particular year?
