Trademarks and Licensing Program

Welcome to the South Dakota State University Trademarks and Licensing Program. The program was established to protect the university's ownership interest in its logos and to generate royalty fees to support the university by funding academic scholarships.

Any company producing products bearing the logos, trademarks, word marks or having an implied association with South Dakota State University must be licensed with the SDSU Trademarks and Licensing Program, which approves all products and designs and ensures proper labeling as appropriate. In addition, the SDSU Trademarks and Licensing Program seeks to ensure that all products and designs submitted for licensing are safe for consumers and project the proper image of the university.
