FAQ's about University of Houston Licensing
Why do I need a license?
The University of Houston partners with the Affinity Licensing to ensure that the University of Houston's name and trademarks (including any logo, symbol, nickname, abbreviation, mascot, and slogan that are associated with the University) are used in an appropriate manner. Any business or individual that would like to sell a product using the University of Houston's name or trademarks will need a license.
How do I obtain a license?

What type of license do I need?
Affinity Licensing will advise you on the types of licenses that are available and assist you with applying for the correct type of license during the application process.
When do students and student groups need a license?
students and student groups need to hold a license or use a licensed vendor to pay a royalty fee when they are using University of Houston logos or marks on items that they are selling, regardless of whether or not the items are being sold for a profit or as a fundraiser.
Typically, students and student groups will use a vendor to produce their items. Students, students groups, and their advisors should know that any vendor they are using is responsible to be appropriately licensed through Affinity Licensing. Please contact Wil Spires of Affinity Licensing at wil@affinitylicensing.com.
If the student is not using a vendor and is producing an item independently, then they will need to obtain a license themselves. To get a license, students should download a copy of the application and license agreement here.
