University Licensing
To protect university trademarks, the University of Mississippi Department of Licensing partners with the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) to manage and oversee the use of all university trademarks included on materials sold to the general public.
As such, the Department of Licensing and CLC maintain a list of vendors who are licensed to apply university trademarks to products sold to the general public. The licensing program also includes vendors who create promotional items, apparel, and clothing (among other items) for campus departments and organizations.
Purchasing Promotional Items
Any department, campus employee or Registered Student Organization (RSO) wishing to purchase promotional items that would include a university trademark such as clothing, drinkware, toys, games, collectibles, personal accessories, etc., the artwork must be approved by University Marketing & Communications and the product must be purchased from a licensee. Please visit the Department of Licensing website to view the list of university licensees as well as their specialties.
Once you have identified a licensee to create your promotional item, you should submit your artwork for brand review. Once the approved artwork is received by the licensee, vendors are trained about how to receive approval from the Department of Licensing and CLC.
