About

 

ISU's Trademark Program is currently housed under the Office of University Counsel. Through a contracted agreement, The Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) assists the Trademark Office with management services.  Vendors interested in obtaining a license may contact CLC at applications@clc.com.  Individuals, groups, units, and organizations, both on and off-campus, seeking to use Iowa State indicia must use licensed vendors and have prior final approval from the Trademark Office. CLC is responsible for the license administration of the approximately 500 vendors producing products bearing ISU trademarks.
