University of Minnesota marks may be used on commercial products only by vendors that are licensed with the trademark licensing office. Similarily, use of the University of Minnesota Alumni Association name and/or registered trademarks by businesses require written permission by the UMAA. To inquire on usage of UMAA trademarks, please email Vice President of Marketing & Business Development Lisa Huber (lhuber@umn.edu).
Vendors from outside entities wishing to apply University trademarks to any products they have developed (not a University product) must be a registered licensed vendor to produce products with any University trademarks. Please contact Gregory Berkowitz at berko056@umn.edu and 612-760-7846 for information on how to become a licensed vendor, or to verify a vendor's status as a registered licensed vendor.
