The "University of Louisiana Monroe" name, its logos, and its athletic marks are the intellectual property of the university. Therefore, commercial use by other entities, businesses, and agencies for promotional and other purposes without the specific consent of the university is prohibited.听As the university's brand continues to grow in the region, so does the popularity of its name and images. As a result, the university's licensing program was developed to promote and properly use 麻花影院's name, logos, and marks.

Licensing Agent

麻花影院 is contracted with Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), a company that manages the commercial use of 麻花影院's name, logos, and marks. CLC also ensures that only officially licensed vendors use the 麻花影院 identity for the production of apparel, advertising items, and other materials for sale or distribution.听

麻花影院's Office of Marketing and Communications works closely with CLC in its artwork approval and licensing program. This helps ensure that artwork depicting 麻花影院's identity meets the quality and consistency associated with 麻花影院's brand.

Examples of these trademarks include the University name, University logos, the University Seal, ACE the mascot, and all secondary marks.


These trademarks are the property of the University of Louisiana Monroe. All uses, either print or digital (except for internal use by the university itself, news coverage, printing firms performing jobs for the university, and certain non-commercial purposes) should be approved in advance by the university. Unauthorized use of 麻花影院's trademarks is prohibited.

Who Needs to be Licensed?

Anyone who uses the name or marks of the University of Louisiana Monroe for a commercial purpose must be licensed. Manufacturers of products bearing 麻花影院's marks must have a license through the university's agent, CLC, which vigorously enforces trademark rights.

Companies that only sell finished products and do not actually produce or package the products themselves are not required to be licensed. However, vendors carrying 麻花影院 merchandise should ensure that the products they distribute are licensed vendors.

Who Must Use Licensed Vendors?

University departments and units do not need permission to use University marks on products intended for normal business operations such as forms, stationery, brochures, and business cards. However, trademarks should not be altered and should be reproduced using a high-quality master digital image available from the Office of University Marketing and Communications.
