New! Online Internal Trademark Use Form
We are pleased to announce the Internal Trademark Use Request form is set up for easy access, on-line completion and instant submission for quicker reviews of internal requests.
Here's how it works. Before filling out the form, you should have selected the licensed vendor that will be producing your ISU product. If you have not selected a licensee and need help in this process, call (515 294-4402) or email (trademark@iastate.edu) the licensing office. With over 550 licensed vendors, we can provide you lists of licensees for virtually any product you can dream up. If we don't have a vendor licensed for a unique item, we'll find one and license them just for you!
While having an electronic design ready to attach and submit with the form is ideal, it isn't absolutely necessary. The electronic version of your design can be as simple as a hand-drawn mock-up that is scanned or an Illustrator file. Our on-line system can accept most electronic formats including PDF, EPS, JPG, TIF, GIF, etc. No electronic design? No problem. We'll match the form with art from the licensee later.
Once you have the licensee (and electronic design), you're ready to fill out the form. It is important that you completely fill out the form and specify what the intended use is for the items ordered. When you have completed the form, submit it. The form will be sent to the licensing office for review.
Once licensing has completed the review, an electronic notification will be sent to you and your selected licensee. If there are changes that need to be made to the design, those will be specifically listed in the comment section. Minimal changes do not require resubmission of the design. However, substantial changes will require resubmission. We will instruct you and your licensee on the specific changes required to get your design approved. Once the form and design have received a final approval, your licensee will produce your order.
You may still download and complete a hard copy of the form. The form may be submitted to the licensing office by mail (1350 Beardshear), fax (515 294-8926) or given to your licensee when placing your order. We will continue to accept hard copies of the form and design but hope you will find our on-line version a more efficient way to work with the Trademark Licensing Office.
Any questions? Call or email licensing at 515 294-4402 or trademark@iastate.edu. We're here to assist you in all aspects of ordering your internal ISU merchandise.
