The Licensing and Trademarks Program established July 1991 as the Collegiate Licensing Program, promotes, regulates and protects the commercial use of the University's federally trademarked names and identifying marks both on and off campus. Prior permission must be obtained from the Licensing and Trademarks Program before using any of the University's registered marks on merchandise. This ensures protection of the integrity and identity of The George Washington University.

Any student, faculty, student organization or administrative office that is interested in using The George Washington University wordmarks and logos must first use a licensed vendor and get the design approved by the Licensing and Trademarks Program. A Merchandise Authorization form must be completed and submitted with the name of the vendor selected and the artwork to the Licensing and Trademarks Program. For your convenience, a list of licensed manufacturers prepared for immediate business is available in Rice Hall Suite 403 and on this Web site.

Any questions regarding the Licensing and Trademarks Program should be directed to the Licensing and Trademarks Coordinator in the Office of the Vice President for Student and Academic Support Services at 202-994-1687, Rice Hall Suite 403.
