Nyjer® Trademark Usage - Wild Bird Feeding Institute

Nyjer® Trademark Usage

As of January 1, 2023, WBFI has modified trademark requirements. Associate businesses, distributors, feeder/accessory manufacturers, packers, and processors of Nyjer® seed (Guizotia abyssinica) are required to obtain authorization from the WBFI to use the Nyjer® trademark.

Authorization for major retailers/brands may receive access to use the WBFI Nyjer® trademark on their packaging if their supplier is authorized by WBFI. Retailers are still encouraged to become WBFI members but are not required to join WBFI or pay the licensing fee if their supplier is authorized by WBFI. (An authorized list can be found here).

If you would like verification that your brand can use the term Nyjer®, contact your supplier for an official letter or contact info@wbfi.org.
