At the beginning of 2009, both the House and Compettive programs adopted the use and exclusive use of the Crest Logo and the Splash Logo for use on their uniforms. While, by design and use WCSC has enjoyed a unperfected trademark and copyright to the Crest Logo and the Splash Logo, in 2009 with the assistance of John Merchant, Esq., WCSC took the proper steps to protect its Logo(s) for the use of such Logo(s) at the exclusive direction of WCSC.
