USDA Organic Seal

USA

Dec 21, 2022

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS)  announced that it has registered the USDA organic seal trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

The USDA seal trademark is specifically described in the Organic Foods Protection Act (OFPA) and is currently protected by federal regulation. Registration of the organic seal grants additional intellectual property rights to further restrict the use of the trademark or a confusingly similar one, by uncertified farms and businesses. The trademark registration works in conjunction with OFPA and the organic regulations, providing another enforcement tool against misuse of the seal.
