Common use of Use of the University's Name and Marks Clause in Contracts

Use of the University's Name and Marks. In order to protect its reputation, the university must control the use of its name and marks. This requirement is especially important in the context of non-university sponsored commercialization of intellectual property. Under no circumstances may the university be presented, directly or indirectly, as endorsing or warranting a particular product. Accordingly, any use of the university's name or any university-owned xxxx in connection with any product, service, research project or work, apart from indication of the institutional affiliation of the creator(s), requires explicit written permission from the university's Associate Xxxxxxx, Research. For additional information on the use of the university's marks, please refer to the Guidelines on Use of the University's Marks, which can be found on the university website.
