Licensing & Trademarks
The Licensing and Trademarks Program (LTP) promotes, regulates and protects the commercial use of GW’s federally trademarked names and identifying marks both on- and off-campus. LTP is housed under Business Services, and works closely with the Department of Athletics and Office of Communications & Marketing in coordination of our trademark names and logos.
Want to add the GW logo to a shirt? Ordering merchandise for your student organization? Before you order merchandise with the University's trademark names and logos (PDF) then you must follow the university’s trademark guidelines, use a licensed vendor and get the design approved by LTP.
