Licensing and branded merchandise

The university's marks and the reputation they represent are important assets. Our team is charged with the responsibility of promoting and protecting the use of Wayne State's licensed marks. We work with a licensing company to ensure:

  • The WSU name is protected and its use is compatible with Wayne State's brand.
  • Any products or services that bear WSU trademarks are of high quality and used only in connection with products and services that the university has chosen to be identified with.
  • Misleading or inaccurate representations of Wayne State's relationship to other entities or activities is prevented, and to preclude others from taking advantage of the goodwill the university has developed, which is symbolized by its trademarks.
  • The products and services bearing our trademarks protect the integrity and reputation of Wayne State; maintain and build upon the goodwill of the institution; and promote support for and increase awareness of the institution, its mission and its goals.
