Council member proposes trademarks for City of Shelby branding
Summary
Council Member Jackie Hursey told the council she is preparing two trademark filings — a design mark and a word mark using the phrase 'CITY OF SHELBY, IOWA PLANT YOUR ROOTS & GROW WITH US' — and the council agreed to pursue both filings.
Council Member Jackie Hursey told the Shelby City Council on Aug. 6 that she has been working on filing intellectual-property protection for the city brand and suggested doing two separate trademarks: one for the design and one for the text mark 'CITY OF SHELBY, IOWA PLANT YOUR ROOTS & GROW WITH US.' The council agreed with her suggestion.
The meeting record does not specify the cost, the trademark attorney or the next administrative steps; the clerk or city attorney would normally handle filings and any fee payments. The record shows the council’s agreement but does not record a formal motion or vote on pursuing the trademark filings.
