What is the name of your state? Texas

Does the first sell doctrine protect the purchase of a military branch logo patch, adding to a piece of apparel, and then turning around and selling that piece of apparel?

No.

What the First Sale Doctrine allows is for someone to legally acquire rights-protected material and resell it as is (or give it away or throw it away). It does not allow for someone to modify or alter the rights-protected material for sale to another.

Thank you for the information. So if I wanted to use a patch in this capacity I would need the rights to use it directly from the source?

Haha. I'm actually looking at that page now. Thought I would be lazy and see about going the easy way out first.
There is a lot of good information available on the internet. It just sometimes takes awhile to locate it. :)
