Licensing Emory’s Brand

The Emory University Trademark Licensing program ensures that our brand identity is properly represented and promoted in the marketplace.

Emory University Trademarks

An Emory University trademark is any mark, logo, symbol, nickname, letter(s), word, or derivative that can be associated with Emory and can be distinguished from those of other institutions or entities. Emory trademarks are the property of Emory University, and their unauthorized use is prohibited. The university, in cooperation with our licensing agent, Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), vigorously enforces our trademark rights.

For Emory University licensing for logo and name use inquiries, contact the licensing and branding group.

Who Needs to Be Licensed?

Anyone using the name or marks of Emory University for a commercial purpose must be a licensed vendor.

To become an approved licensee of Emory University, please visit the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) website and complete the application process.

External Use

University departments may use Emory marks to raise funds for their own organization or charitable support. Items purchased for such purposes must be acquired from approved licensees. Approved licensees will submit the design artwork through CLC to be reviewed by the Emory Communications and Marketing brand team.

Student Groups

Officially recognized governance and official student groups may create merchandise bearing university logos. It is preferred that they work with a licensed or approved vendor. Governance and official student groups are established by Campus Life and the deans of Emory schools. They can assist with review of proposed student organization branding.
