Urantia Foundation's New Trademark Assignment

On October 3, 2025, Urantia Foundation announced that it has successfully completed the transfer of the trademark assignment for the name 'Urantia' from Unity of The Light, Inc. This assignment is an important milestone for both organizations as it solidifies Urantia Foundation's position as the steward of the Urantia name in various media communications.

Unity of The Light, a nonprofit established to promote the teachings of The Urantia Book through spiritual education, initiated this trademark assignment. Jerrold D. Burden, the president and founder of Unity of The Light, expressed relief that the trademark is now secure with Urantia Foundation. "We’re relieved to see this trademark targeting digital and broadcast media safe and well protected in the capable hands of Urantia Foundation as we spread spiritual insights embodied in The Urantia Book," he stated.

The trademark covers a wide range of media services, including internet streaming of video and audio, subscription TV broadcasting, voice and data transmission, and video-on-demand services. Originally applied for by Unity of The Light, the trademark aimed to support the organization’s outreach through evolving media platforms.

By transferring the trademark to Urantia Foundation, Unity of The Light has strengthened Urantia Foundation’s capabilities in protecting the name 'Urantia'. This ensures that it remains legally accessible for the global community. This collaborative gesture highlights the mutual commitment both organizations share in maintaining the integrity of their spiritual revelation while also promoting it through modern communication channels.

Urantia Foundation is dedicated to ensuring the availability of the name 'Urantia' for the distribution of The Urantia Book and its teachings across the world. They own all registered trademarks associated with the name and are committed to protecting this intellectual property.

The recent trademark transfer not only reinforces Urantia Foundation's strategy to broaden the reach of The Urantia Book but also establishes a protective framework for the name within digital and broadcast media. According to a spokesperson for the foundation, this strategic move is aimed at expanding the understanding and availability of the teachings contained in the book, facilitating a deeper engagement with spiritual insights among a global audience.

As Urantia Foundation moves forward, the organization remains optimistic about the future of The Urantia Book and its teachings in the media landscape. The foundation is eager to explore innovative ways to leverage this trademark in reaching a wider audience, ensuring that spiritual insights continue to touch and transform lives.

In conclusion, the trademark transfer represents more than just a legal change; it symbolizes a new chapter in the collective mission of both Unity of The Light and Urantia Foundation to disseminate spiritual truths in an increasingly digital world. With this strong foundation for the future, the teachings of The Urantia Book are set to engage new audiences in profound ways.
