##  Welcome to the Harvard Trademark Program 

The Harvard Trademark Program was established by the President and Fellows of Harvard College in order to protect Harvard’s trademarks. Our office oversees the registration of Harvard’s trademarks and guards against their unauthorized use, grants licenses to domestic and international companies to produce and sell Harvard insignia items, and administers Harvard University’s Use-of-Name policies and guidelines.

##  Primary Responsibilities

 [### Use of Harvard's Name

 ](/pages/use-of-harvards-name)The Harvard Trademark Program administers the University’s Use-of-Name policies and guidelines, which govern the manner in which Harvard schools, departments, units, student organizations, and the wider Harvard community may use the Harvard names and insignias through representations that are appropriate, accurate, and in accord with the following applicable policies and guidelines.

 [### Licensing Program

 ](/pages/licensing-program)While its primary role is the protection of Harvard’s trademarks from unauthorized use, the Trademark Program is also responsible for licensing the University’s marks throughout the world and does so through its domestic (U.S.) and international licensing programs. Because Harvard takes a traditional approach concerning the types of products it will license and how the marks may be used on them, both licensing programs utilize a rigorous set of standards when evaluating companies requesting licenses.
