The trademark licensing program regulates, promotes, and protects the use of the University's name and identifying marks, and the reputation they represent, both on and off campus, ensuring the quality and consistency of the university brand on university merchandise, while creating a cooperative and positive working relationship with the manufacturers, licensees and retailers who work with the University. Licensed vendors are expected to conduct business with honesty, integrity, trustworthiness, and respect for the intrinsic value of each human being.

UCCS Office of Brand and Design in University Marketing and Communications, partnering with the University of Colorado Trademark Licensing Office, is responsible for ensuring the correct use and integrity of UCCS trademark assets, including marks and verbiage.  

The use of UCCS marks on any merchandise, whether for retail sale or simply as a giveaway promotional item, requires permission from UCCS and licensing from Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC). CLC administers the license application process for all vendors on behalf of UCCS and assists with issues of legality and enforcement. We are members of the Fair Labor Association (FLA) and the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC).
