The Office of Licensing Programs at Penn State was established in 1982. Licensing programs serves to protect and promote the University's indicia (marks, names, and logos). The Office of Licensing Programs oversees the use of all University indicia (including names, trademarks, and symbols) that are registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Through partnerships with manufacturers, Penn State encourages consumers to support student scholarships and activities through the purchase of officially licensed merchandise. Per agreement, the license application process is administered through the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), which also assists with legal and enforcement issues, public relations, retail marketing, and promotional licensing.
