Skegness Town Council has registered the Jolly Fisherman image as an official trademark of the Council to ensure this remains in ownership for the benefit of the Town and to protect the image from abuse.

​

The Council is the registered owner of the trademark with exclusive permission granted to Skegness Trading Co Ltd to use the trademark for commercial purposes including commercial arrangements whereby the company may allow others to use the trademark for commercial use.

​

Skegness Town Council will use the trademark itself for non-profit reasons of promotion of the Town and will administer the issue of non-commercial licences for use by non-commercial organisations in accordance with the rules established by the Council.  Non-commercial use of the Jolly Fisherman image to promote the Town does not incur a charge.

​

Commercial use of the Jolly Fisherman image will incur a fee.

​

Please note if the information provided to assess the fee is found to be inaccurate any permissions will be revoked and no fees paid will be returned.  All permissions are granted for a pre-agreed term or production run.  Once this has expired a new application will be required to continue the use of the Jolly Fisherman Image.  Skegness Trading Company Ltd reserves the right to impose conditions on the permission to use the Jolly Fisherman image commercially as it may think appropriate from time to time.

​

Data collected during the application will only be used by Skegness Town Council and Skegness Trading Co Ltd.  The data collected will not be used for any other purpose unless explicit consent has been obtained.  For further information about data collection, please see our privacy notice found at the bottom of the page.

​

Skegness Town Council may take legal action against any organisation using the trademark outside the rules of use or without permission.  All use of the Jolly Fisherman image under copyright other than that provided under the Society and Science agreement has ceased.  Any use under this scheme does not provide any rights now that the image has been protected as a Trademark and the Council is allowing continuation to the end of the 2017 season purely as a discretion and to give a lead in period for organisations to apply under the new regime.  Any organisation who previously had permission under the copyright must re-apply to use the Jolly Fisherman image now it is a registered Trademark.
