IT’S OFFICIAL. DUHTROIT® is TRADEMARKED
Today marks another important milestone in the evolution of DUHTROIT.
When we started, the focus was simple: create meaningful opportunities for artists and produce work that deserved to exist.
But with every exhibition, publication, partnership, program, and person who has trusted us with their work, DUHTROIT has become responsible for something bigger than any single project.
A reputation. A body of work. A history. And increasingly, a legacy.
That deserves to be protected.
We’re proud to share that DUHTROIT has received its first federal trademark registration with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
For us, this isn’t about putting an ® next to the logo. It’s another piece of the infrastructure required to build DUHTROIT with intention, and to ensure that the artists, collaborators, partners, and communities who lend their names, work, and trust to this platform are contributing to something built with the future in mind.
Huge thank you to Beverly Beal
@beverlyabeal @beverlybeallaw , our trademark attorney, for her guidance, expertise, and support in helping us reach this milestone.
There is much more to build.
DUHTROIT®
Built in Detroit. Built for the long run
