Wright State University participates in a licensing program that oversees the use of our trademarks on a variety of items and that works to promote, enhance, and elevate the image of the University by authorizing the use of our name and logos on merchandise. This program is administered by Wright State University and in partnership with Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC).
Wright State University’s licensing program serves to:
- Protect the trademarks, service marks, logos, symbols and indicia that belong to the University and that are associated with the values and traditions of Wright State.
- Promote the university in a consistent manner by allowing only uses by officially licensed vendors and on quality products.
Any person, organization or corporation wishing to manufacture a product bearing or containing any of the marks of the University, or to provide a service that will use the marks, must enter into a licensing agreement that authorizes such use. Only officially licensed, approved vendors (licensees) may produce items bearing the University’s trademarks or name. Those wishing to become licensed can
obtain an application. Along with a completed application, vendors will be required to submit product samples, proof of insurance, and a nominal fee. All vendor questions regarding the application and approval process should be directed to CLC. For a list of all current licensed vendors,
click here, and search “Wright State”.
Once a vendor is licensed, they can access current, accurate Wright State logos and marks from JPatton, CLC's web based artwork database. Product designs must be submitted into Brand Manager 360 for review and approval prior to being produced. Items bearing Wright State’s trademarks without a license may be considered “counterfeit” and subject to all available legal remedies, including seizure of the items. Additionally, licensed vendors who fail to submit designs for pre-production approval may have their license revoked.
Officially licensed Wright State merchandise can be found in several retailers in the Dayton area, including the University Bookstore, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Rally House, Meijer, Lids/Lids Locker Room, Walmart, and others!
