Aggie Horticulture® Trademark
Aggie Horticulture® is now a U. S.
registered trademark.
Texas Cooperative Extension was awarded a U. S.
trademark for "Aggie Horticulture" on September 27, 2005. It is registered
trademark number 3001270 so we will begin using the ® symbol whenever we
spell out the name. It will take sometime to change our graphics,
though.
We took this step because of
the need to protect our "virtual identity." Another firm has already pirated a
.com domain using our name. The .com benefits from the hits generated when
people mis-type our name in their address bar. Since we are generating nearly
20 million hits per month, they're probably getting a lot of
contacts.
We will begin the process of
recovering the exclusivity of our virtual identity
immediately.
