Intellectual property and product sourcing<\/h1>\r\nTo safeguard Northern Arizona University\u2019s intellectual property and ensure compliance with university brand standards, any university department, unit, or student group intending to use university intellectual property on products and merchandise must follow a structured process involving the NAU Trademarks and Licensing office.\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nThe Trademarks and Licensing office requires that all products featuring university trademarks or a specific department logo be sourced exclusively from licensed vendors. This requirement serves to guarantee that vendors possess the necessary product liability insurance and have committed to adhering to the NAU Code of Conduct. The university has carefully selected a group of licensees with specialized expertise in collaborating with university programs and departments, chosen through a comprehensive Request for Proposal (RFP) procedure. It’s worth noting that this selection of licensees does not encompass all registered vendors at Northern Arizona University.\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nTo maintain consistency in the utilization of NAU trademarks, all product designs must receive approval from the NAU Trademarks and Licensing office before initiating the production phase. In most cases, vendors can submit the design for approval on behalf of the respective organization or department. Nevertheless, if any inquiries or concerns arise pertaining to the design, the organization may contact the office directly for clarification and guidance.\r\n\r\n
