Get behind the mark of the most effective antimicrobial touch surface
Permission is required from the local Copper Centre to use the brand name or mark to market products.
Outside the United States
If a fabricator or product manufacturer wishes to use the
Antimicrobial Copper brand, name or mark to market their products
outside of the US, they must first obtain permission from their
local Copper Centre. Compliance with the defined Conditions of
Use and signing of a Trademark License Agreement are
required.
Continued permission to use the brand, name or mark will require
ongoing adherence to strict usage rules, as well as the ability of
the user to document that all relevant products are in fact made
from recognised Antimicrobial Copper alloys.
Please see the additional requirements for marketing in the
United States below, noting that wherever you intend to market,
your local Copper Centre is the point of contact.
Within the United States
As Antimicrobial Copper is registered with the US Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) as an antimicrobial public health material,
regulatory approval and permission from the US CDA is required to
use the brand.
Fabricators
Fabricators must be registered with the federal EPA and state
equivalents. To learn more about EPA registration for
fabricators, click here.
Registered fabricators must agree to the EPA Stewardship Plan
promoting the proper use and care of Antimicrobial Copper
alloys. Learn more about the Stewardship Plan here
Permission
Once regulatory approval is complete, fabricators and product
manufacturers must agree to comply with the defined Conditions of
Use and sign a Servicemark License Agreement.
Continued permission to use the brand, name or mark will require
ongoing adherence to strict usage rules, as well as the ability of
the user to document that all relevant products are in fact made
from registered Antimicrobial Copper alloys. Failure to comply with
EPA usage rules will result in registration being revoked and legal
action.
