Mack Trucks is one of the world’s most renowned heavy-duty truck brands and provides sales and service for its trucks in more than 45 countries. Mack Trucks has headquarters and manufacturing plants in three states and dealerships across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Latin America and Australia. 

An iconic American brand, Mack has a rich and storied history, from our beginnings in Brooklyn in 1900 to being recognized as a global brand that stands for reliability, durability and roll-up-your-sleeves hard work.

It began in 1900, when the automobile was brand new and horses were still pulling the load. That’s when two brothers, Gus and Jack Mack, started building motorized carriages that could do the work of a whole stable of horses. Those trucks built America, pulled Europe out of the trenches of two World Wars and built the Panama Canal. And by creating the most dependable trucks in the world, Mack Trucks has become one of the most recognized and respected brands in the transport industry.

Our performance and reputation moved the brand into the lexicon and Mack has become a part of the language, giving rise to the phrase "Built Like A Mack Truck."

Today Mack Trucks continues producing fuel-efficient, technologically advanced, category-leading vehicles in the construction, long-and-regional haul and refuse segments.

Our licensing vision is to extend the relationship that people have with the Mack Brand beyond the workplace and into the home.

To leverage the connection that people have with our brand while providing value – both emotional and commercial - to the Mack Brand and our licensees.

Mack looks for potential licensing partners that have an appreciation for authenticity and realism in design and that understand the role licensing plays in building and reinforcing brand values. Alignment with the brand attributes for Mack Trucks (durability, reliability, application excellence, pride of ownership, easy to do business with, total cost of ownership) is of paramount importance.

The U.S. Army trademark licensing program's goal is to strengthen consumer loyalty by creating multiple brand touchpoints at retail for consumers to build a greater affinity for the United States Army. The U.S. Army's mission is to distribute quality consumer products that build brand awareness while creating brand impressions across multiple platforms to support U.S. Army recruitment efforts. The program manages more than 280 licensees spanning 50-plus product categories and is seen and sold in more than 50,000 doors in North America. By federal law, licensing fees paid to the U.S. Army for the use of its trademarks provide support to the Army trademark licensing program, and net licensing revenue is devoted to U.S. Army morale, welfare and recreation programs. 

The U.S. Army licensing program leverages the values of pride, performance and personal development to build positive brand awareness. Licensees are scattered across categories that include gift and novelty, apparel/accessories, fitness, toys, tailgating and recreational sports. 
U.S. Army licensed products can be found in mass merchandisers, mid­tier retailers, travel centers, sporting goods stores, toy stores, craft stores, grocery stores, dollar stores, tourist/museum centers and more. In addition, the off-price channel proved very successful. 
For 2020, the U.S. Army program looks to focus on building the program both internally and externally. Internally, emphasis on quality and best-in-class licensee operations will be a focus by leveraging business reviews with current licensees to ensure product refreshes and extended distribution are maximized. Externally, U.S. Army is looking to strengthen plans to combat counterfeit and infringing product, both at retail and online. Identification and education of manufacturers operating without a license will be pivotal to protecting the brand while keeping the current program protected.

As America's expeditionary force in readiness since 1775, the U.S. Marines are forward deployed to win our Nation’s battles swiftly and aggressively in times of crisis. We fight on land, sea and air, as well as provide forces and detachments to naval ships and ground operations. 

What sets Marines apart from any other fighting force on the globe isn’t just how they’re trained, the equipment they use or their tactics. It’s something much more primal—it’s the fighting spirit that lives within every Marine and drives them to accept nothing less than victory in all situations. That determination to win, eagerness to fight, and high standard of excellence are all traits strengthened in the Corps.

The many historic insignia, emblems, and uniform of the U.S. Marine Corps are some of the most recognizable images in the country. The Eagle, Globe and Anchor is the universally recognized symbol of the United States Marine Corps. The USMC Trademark Licensing Office (TMLO) exists to regulate the usage of Marine Corps trademarks such as the Eagle, Globe and Anchor (EGA) worldwide. Other noteworthy trademarks include unit insignia, slogans such as; The Few. The Proud., No Better Friend No Worse Enemy, Earned Never Given, First to Fight and many more.

We are America’s Navy and we are Forged by the Sea. Our brand promise was forged by the six pillars that define America’s Navy. Strength, Opportunity, Direction, Teamwork, Creative Innovation, and Meaningful Adventure. The Navy’s trademark licensing program is responsible for increasing the service’s brand awareness. This is accomplished by licensing consumer goods that instill pride in the Navy and admiration for the men and women who serve. Our program works with licensees producing products in categories such as apparel, jewelry, novelties, housewares, accessories, plush, and many more. Navy licensed products are available globally including in major retailers such as Walmart, Target, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Top Shop, Kohl’s and a variety of e-commerce retailers. Proceeds from the licensing program support the Navy’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation program, which benefits sailors, retirees and their families.

The U.S. Postal Service is the only delivery service that reaches every address in the nation: 160 million residences, businesses and Post Office Boxes. With more than 34,000 retail locations, 630,000 employees and one of the most frequently visited websites in the federal government, usps.com, the Postal Service is one of the county’s most recognizable and trusted brands.

USPS licensed consumer products expand the brand to new and different audiences. Licensed products can be a vehicle for encouraging new customers to purchase core products and services. Because USPS licensed products typically bear the brand's trademarks in ways that are visible when they are being used, they turn consumers into active advocates for the brand.

For the first time ever, the USPS licensing program was nominated for the 2020 Licensing International Excellence Newcomer Award.

The United States Postal Service anticipates product availability in the marketplace will significantly increase over the coming years. As USPS gears up for their 250th anniversary in 2025, this initiative will be supported by the Licensing program.
