Why have a licensing program?
A trademark licensing program gives the University control over its logos and marks, thus, ensuring the quality and consistency of all of the University's merchandise.
What qualifies as a trademark?
Any mark, logo, symbol, nickname, letter(s), word(s) or combination of these that can be associated with the University qualifies as a trademark.
What about using the University's name or logo on a website?
Every use of the University's trademarks requires permission from the University and the Licensing Coordinator. The World Wide Web has made it easy for alumni, fans and supporters to build web pages with the University's name and logos, and the University appreciates this support. However, federal trademark laws require that the University control its name and marks; therefore, the University must be very selective in granting permission in these, and all, instances. For more information, contact the University's Licensing Coordinator, Clarence Chiong at cchiong@csufresno.edu.
How does this affect Club Sports teams?
Club Sports teams who wish to use any trademarked or federally registered University wording, logos or symbols, including their own team logo, must get prior approval from Clarence Chiong at cchiong@csufresno.edu and also submit a Royalty Waiver Form.
To request insurance certifications or proof of insurance for use of an off campus facility, send an email request to Lisa Kao, lisak@csufresno.edu, and copy John Hung, jhung@csufresno.edu. In your email, include a copy of the facility use agreement, the dates of use, and the facility point of contact.
The insurance provided by the Club Sports Program provides coverage in addition to your personal/primary insurance. If an athlete does not have personal/primary insurance, the Club Sports insurance may provide coverage for incidents resulting from participation in Club Sports activities.
The Accident/Incident Report for Non-Employees (please refer to "Related Links" in the column to the right) must be filled out and submitted along with the Athlete Accident Claim Form.
