Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. Trademarks
The Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. owns a number of trademarks,
including, among others, the names Better
Business Bureau and BBBOnLine,
and the BBB torch and BBB
CARE logos. Any use of these marks
by others must be with the express permission of the Council.
In most instances, when we advise a company that it is misusing or infringing
on our trademarks, the company readily complies with our request to modify
its advertising or web site. From time to time, however, the Council has
had to sue infringers. The Council has been successful in all litigation
it has undertaken against infringers. We also try to advise the public
about companies that continue without authorization to use our marks. The
Internet has made this easier.
Violators
We now have a list on our web site of companies
that do not have our permission to use our marks and have refused to comply
with repeated requests to stop using them. Please
note that this list does not include every company misusing or infringing
on our marks, but only those we have contacted many times about their
misuse or infringement.
