Sales Aids include such items as mugs, ties, shirts, tie tacks, scarves, paper weights, pens, etc. Awards include plaques, desk sets, clocks, trophies, mementos, etc. Licensees will be granted permission to use the Treasury Department Seal, which is protected by law, and the logos of the U.S. Savings Bonds Program in connection with promotion of the Savings Bonds Program. Items to be marketed will be required to meet standards of appropriateness and quality as determined by the Agency. SBMO may grant, to one or more firms, non-exclusive Licensing Agreements for initial five (5)-year periods with options by the agencies for renewals of 5-year periods.
