| Certification Mark Statement | The Made in California certification mark is created for the distinct and unique purpose of promoting the Made in California marketing & labeling program created by statute for the State of California. The program is administered on behalf of the state by the California Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA) within the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz). The Made in California program promotes awareness of California's ranking as the leading state for manufacturing jobs and firms. The program is open to all manufacturers in California whose products meet the eligibility requirement of being at least 51% "Substantially Made" in California, meaning that at least 51% of the product's total wholesale value derives from manufacturing, assembly, fabrication, or production occurring in California to create a recognizable product. The mark is used by CalOSBA and GO-Biz to promote awareness of the Made in California labeling program. This will include its use on the official website, madeincalifornia,ca.gov; in physical marketing collateral including signs and banners; in promotional videos; and other promotional materials and artifacts. The mark will also be used by individual businesses that meet eligibility requirements and have signed a licensing agreement with CalOSBA for its use. Such uses could include placement on the manufactured products; on product packaging; on websites; in social media posts; on physical marketing collateral such as signs, banners and pamphlets; in promotional videos, and in other marketing materials. |

| Description of Mark | The mark consists of a walking stylized bear facing to the right and with all four feet on the same level. To the right of the bear's head are the words "MADE IN" in all capital letters, with a star superimposed over the top half of the "A". The letters are roughly half the height of the image of the bear. Underneath the bear and the words "MADE IN" is the word "CALIFORNIA", also in capital letters. The "CA" letters are slightly larger than the rest of the word. The letter "A" and the letter "L" are therefore not the same height, but the bottom of the "L" is slightly superimposed over the right foot of the "A". |
