About Us

Welcome to the Trademark Licensing Office at Boston University. Our mission is to protect and promote the university’s brand identity through the management and licensing of BU’s trademarks. We oversee the use of the Boston University name, seal, plate, icon, and other trademarks to ensure they are used appropriately and consistently across all applications.

Our office serves as a resource for schools, departments, student groups, and affiliated organizations, providing guidance and approvals for the use of BU assets. We work closely with these internal groups to support their branding needs while maintaining the integrity and reputation of the university’s brand.

In addition to our internal support, we manage relationships with external licensees, ensuring that all commercial use of BU trademarks meets our high standards for quality and representation. Through our licensing program, we aim to enhance the visibility of the Boston University brand and generate revenue to support the university’s mission.

We are committed to fostering a collaborative environment and providing exceptional service to all stakeholders. Whether you are part of the BU community or an external partner, our team is here to assist you with your trademark licensing needs.

Thank you for helping us uphold the excellence and prestige of the Boston University brand.
