North Carolina Animal Relief Fund owns the service mark SART and two trademark registrations for the SART mark, Registration Nos. 2,532,295 and 2,625,144. This is a very valuable mark and symbolizes the goodwill associated with the animal emergency services offered by the North Carolina Animal Relief Fund. The SART mark should only be used by authorized licensees. Unauthorized use leads to public confusion and constitutes trademark infringement under both state and federal trademark laws.
