63. APPLICATIONS FOR VULTURE MOUNTAINS REGIONAL PARK AND VULTURE MOUNTAINS RECREATION AREA TRADE NAMES AND TRADEMARKS FOR THE MARICOPA COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT Authorize the Parks and Recreation Director to complete and submit the electronic/online forms for Vulture Mountains Regional Park and Vulture Mountains Recreation Area trade name and trademark applications to the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office and authorize the Parks and Recreation Director to submit future renewal applications. A copy of the signed applications will be provided to the Office of the Clerk of the Board. The Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department is working to secure trade names and trademarks for properties and events managed by the department. To ensure that outside agencies do not utilize the trade names and trademarks, the Parks and Recreation Department is recommending that the trade names and trademarks be registered with the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office. In addition, this will ensure internal consistency, external control, exclusive naming rights, marketing and promotion, and protection of the brand. The applications will be registered with Maricopa County as the primary owner of the trade names and trademarks. A search was conducted on October 2, 2023, through the Arizona Secretary of State’s registered trade name database, and no conflict was found. (C-30-24-006-X-00)
