Becoming Licensed
The University of Massachusetts Trademark and Licensing Administration oversees the licensing of all vendors creating UMass branded products both at retail and for custom-made merchandise orders using UMass Trademarks. Licensing helps ensure that the UMass brand only makes it onto quality materials and products. Please contract UMass System Associate Director of Trademark, Licensing & Marketing Kimberley Thornton to begin the Licensing Process and receive the application materials necessary to be recognized by the public and University system as a Licensed Vendor authorized to sell UMass Licensed merchandise!
