And, non-profits doesn't mean they don't do things that they profit from, it just means they aren't trying to achieve profits for their owners. Endowments are non-profits, but they most certainly are making investments to achieve profits for the purpose of pushing that money into charitable vehicles.



A non-profit may also want to prevent others from profiting from their work by using their trademarks without approval for private gain.

Having a trademark just means you are protecting a name, not that you are seeking to extract value, per se.
