To obtain Smiling Sun user rights requires that the applicant is a group or organisation campaigning against nuclear power plants and related facilities in the nuclear fuel cycle. Interested groups may contact the OOA Fund with a brief presentation of  their background and activities, asking for an Agreement on production, distribution and sale of campaign material featuring the Smiling Sun. Once the agreement is signed the group is free to use the Smiling Sun logo without paying any royalty. The OOA Fund only  asks for a modest annual contribution to the Fund’s maintaining of the protection of the Smiling Sun logo. A first time agreement will normaly be valid for two years. The agreement provides the following basic rights and conditions: The User has the right to produce, distribute and sell campaign material displaying the Logo with the wording  NUCLEAR POWER? – NO THANKS  in the appropriate language, based on a master copy of the Logo provided by the Fund. Campaign material includes posters, badges, stickers, clothing, banners, balloons, key tags, mugs, caps etc. The User has the right to use the Logo as identification mark in campaigns against nuclear power. This includes any printed matter, advertisements, audio visual productions as well as own website. The User has no right to modify the design of the Logo in any way, unless the Fund in writing explicitly has accepted any such alteration. The User may rephrase the text of the Logo, provided that the message clearly questions or opposes use of nuclear power. Implementation of any such new text version requires that the Fund in writing explicitly has accepted the alteration. The User shall as part of any use of the Logo include the symbol ® thus indicating the registration of the Logo. Commercial interests may become licence holders by asking for and negotiating a License agreement on production, distribution and sale of products featuring the Smiling Sun logo. They will be required to pay a licence fee and possibly also a royalty. It has been a strict policy of the OOA to keep the Smiling Sun independent from political parties and oppose any attempt from a political party to take possession of the logo. For that reason the OOA Fund avoids making user agreements with political parties. Due to the expectations from some industrial and political quarters for a revival of nuclear power after 20-25 years of stagnation, the OOA Fund decided to become more active with regard to promoting the Smiling Sun. In cooperation with WISE-Amsterdam we in December 2006 informed  anti nuclear power campaigners worldwide on the potential of the Smiling Sun Logo in ongoing campaigns.
