What happens if a trademark is used without a license?
top The University is legally obligated to enforce its trademark ownership rights. The Trademarks & Licensing staff conducts routine market place surveys and works closely with local and state law enforcement organizations to shut down illegal uses. Our trademarks have been registered with the United States Customs to prevent illegal entry of counterfeit products into the United States. All products must be approved by the University’s Trademark Licensing office. Failure to obtain a license or approval from the University’s Trademark Licensing Office would be grounds for the seizure of all non-approved merchandise bearing the University’s marks. It also could result in jail time and numerous fines if convicted.
