Trademarks are usually words and symbols used to distinguish one product, entity, or service from another. Trademarks are identified by the letters “TM” or ®. UAF trademarks are used to identify the campus and campus-related activities. Our marks are seen repeatedly by the public and are the graphic representatives of the quality and desirability of all that UAF has to offer. The goal of the UAF Trademark Licensing Program is to uphold UAF’s reputation and goodwill by protecting its name and symbols from inappropriate use. Proper and consistent use of UAF’s marks strengthens their impact, and enhances the public’s university experiences.

Please see the UAF Administrative Policy Statement (pdf) to learn how trademarks are managed at UAF.

UAF offers companies two licensing agreements: a royalty bearing license for companies whose products are for retail product distribution and a non-royalty bearing license for companies whose products will be used internally at UAF. UAF requires all of its employees and students to obtain collegiate merchandise, bearing UAF or other University of Alaska trademarks, only from trademark licensed suppliers. This requirement also pertains to merchandise that is being purchased for non-retail internal distribution and use, such as merchandise given away or used for internal UAF functions. UAF employees who purchase goods for internal use from licensed vendors holding royalty-bearing licenses should obtain a royalty waiver from the Office of Technology Transfer. Use of UAF trademarks for official UAF business does not require approval or use of a licensed vendor. Uses for official business include stationery, business cards, official publications, course materials, reports, journals and other materials used in the normal course of business.
