Internal Trademark Use Requests

The Process

  1. Here's how it works. Before filling out the form, you should select the licensed vendor that will be producing your ISU product. If you have not selected a licensee and need help in this process, call or email the Trademark Licensing Office at 515 294-4402 or trademark@iastate.edu. You can also find a list of them on our List of Internal Licensees page.
  2. Before we review your order, we will also need an electronic copy of the design you plan to use. If the licensee you chose is creating the art for you, they will provide this. Please upload the art so it is submitted with your form. A high-resolution PDF is the preferred format for documents.
  3. Once you have selected a licensee and have an electronic version of your design, choose the link above that corresponds with your group (Internal Unit, Athletics, or Student Organization) and log in using your ISU ID. It is essential that you complete the form in full and clearly specify how you intend to use the items ordered. When you have completed the form and click 'Submit', it will be sent to the licensing office for review.  You will receive an email confirmation that your form has been submitted.
  4. Once we have completed the review, an electronic notification will be sent to you and your selected licensee. If any changes are required, they will be listed explicitly in the comment section. Minimal changes do not require resubmission of the design. However, substantial changes will require resubmission. We will instruct you and your licensee on the specific changes needed to get your design approved. Once the form and design have received final approval, your licensee will produce your order.
