Trademarks

The RYA is dedicated to protecting its intellectual property rights, copyrights, reputation and trademarks. 

The RYA's name, trademarks and reputation are important assets that also have considerable commercial value. Companies and other organisations are respectfully reminded not to seek or imply RYA approval or endorsement for their goods, services or policies so as to increase their market appeal and/or credibility, by unauthorised use of the RYA's name and/or trademarks.

RYA trademarks must not be used by third parties without the execution of a trademark licence. Authorisation for trademark use comes only from the Marketing department of the RYA, rather than RYA regional representatives or other departments. If in doubt, please consult the Marketing Department.
