Licensing

TU branded products

By monitoring how the university’s trademarks are applied and the types of products that are produced in association with Towson University, the licensing program:

  • protects the university’s image and reputation
  • promotes the university’s brand through quality, licensed products
  • provides resources to the university through returned royalties

Towson University will not approve the use of trademarks or designs that imply the use or endorsement of: weapons or firearms; tobacco/nicotine products; illegal drugs or activity; alcohol; racist, sexist or hateful language; profanity; suggestive/sexual acts or language; statements impugning other institutions; and products that are harmful to the mission of TU. Please note: This list is not all-inclusive. All approvals are subject to the discretion of the Department of Trademark & Licensing.
