Salt Lake City, Utah, April 15, 2014 -- MonaVie received top honors at the 2014 Utah Genius Awards for their innovation in trademark earlier this month at the Little America Hotel. Bateman IP Law Group and KSL presented the award to MonaVie Vice President of Communications Brian Gill.

Utah Genius serves to honor and recognize the people, companies and cities that contribute to the state's growth with patents and trademarks. In 2013, MonaVie registered 18 new trademarks related to their products and brand, which earned the company the No. 1 ranking in the trademark category.

"MonaVie is grateful to Utah Genius, the Bateman IP Law Group and KSL for recognizing the great innovators of Utah," said Gill. "We are also grateful to accept this recognition as one of the most innovative companies in the state."

When accepting the award on behalf of MonaVie, Gill provided one reason the company registers a large volume of trademarks. He explained that MonaVie's mission statement is to: "Create more meaningful lives by enhancing the relationships and daily practices of the communities we serve through our products and business opportunity."

"In other words, MonaVie looks for points of intersection between our products and opportunity and the needs and wants of our communities," said Gill. "And when we find those areas of intersecting opportunity, we create products and initiatives to support them."
