Commercial vendors producing ANY Linn-Mar items for sale must obtain a Commercial Licensing Agreement with Linn-Mar Community Schools.

Non-Commercial groups/clubs/activities/athletics associated with Linn-Mar Community School District must apply for a Non-Commercial Licensing Agreement with the district if they want to use the district’s trademarked name or copyrighted materials marks, logos or images from the Brand Design Guidelines manual.

(For example, a youth sports team could produce uniforms for their players under this agreement, but not t-shirts to sell to their parents only and other fans.)

In addition, groups using a non-commercial license will be required to submit a list of members to the district – including participants’ schools for verification that all members of the group are Linn-Mar students.
