Last year, my pawrents filed a USPTO trademark application for the word “Tripawd.” They did this because they wanted a way of protecting the special meaning of the word to make sure that it would only be used in pawsitive ways to help three legged dogs and show the world that … “It’s better to hop on three legs than limp on four!“

As of March 10, 2009, Tripawds is now a registered service mark (#3,586,016), found under the name of “Agreda Communications,” which is the company run by my pawrents, Jim and René where I served as the Chief Fun Officer. Tripawds.com is a special project near and dear to the hearts of the Agreda team.

My pawrents trademarked Tripawds not to capitalize on the word, but rather to keep others from doing so. My Mom and Dad want to ensure it’s proper use and integrity. They don’t want anything in return from anyone who wants to use the word “Tripawds” for limited, personal use, other than giving credit to the Tripawds.com website.

If anyone wishes to sell items branded with the word “Tripawds,” however, they simply ask that you contact us to talk about licensing for commercial use.
