Historical Note

The Trademarks and Licensing Office administers the University of Washington's licensing program to control the commercial use of the university's name and registered trademarks. Manufacturers of emblematic merchandise must obtain a licensing agreement to secure the rights to print the university's name or identifying marks on their products. The activities of this office formerly fell within the responsibilities of the Vice President for University Relations, but beginning in 2004 the Office of the Associate Vice President For Business Services, part of Publications Services, assumed this responsibility.
