Trademark Policy

At BCEN, we have put substantial effort into building a brand that supports our role as the benchmark of board certification for nurses working across the emergency spectrum. We understand that you may wish to use BCEN logos or trademarks on your materials, and we appreciate you following our process to ensure proper usage.

Please read BCEN’s official Trademark and Logo Usage Policy before proceeding. The Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing (BCEN®) marks, logos, and certification program marks (collectively the “BCEN Marks”) are trademarks or registered trademarks of BCEN. By making use of any BCEN Marks, individuals agree to be bound by the terms of BCEN Policy 8.1 – “Trademark and Logo Usage.”

Once you’ve read the policy, here are the steps to request usage of BCEN’s trademarked materials:

  1. Complete the request form below.
  2. We will review your request send you a Letter of Agreement for signature, or in some cases, provide the logos and materials upon initial response, depending on the extent of the usage requested.
  3. Submit files of your proposed usage. We will either approve or deny the usage and direct you to next steps.
  4. Ensure usage does not go beyond the agreed-upon parameters, or you may be in violation of BCEN’s Trademark and Logo Usage Policy.

If at any time, BCEN determines, in its sole discretion, that use of the BCEN Marks is not in compliance with this Policy or otherwise threatens to harm the BCEN Marks, BCEN may immediately terminate an individual’s right to use the BCEN Marks.

BCEN reserves the right to audit any and all use of the BCEN Marks and to require correction for any inappropriate use. Any user of the BCEN Marks grants BCEN the permission to access, review, and audit any materials that make use of the BCEN Marks.
