Trademark Disclosure Policy
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A trademark is any word, slogan, symbol,
name, device or combination thereof that is used to identify
the source of goods in commerce. A service mark is identical
to a trademark, except that it serves to identify the source
of services in commerce.
The University
of Nebraska policy on trademarks is set forth in Executive Memorandum
No. 20, which states:
The Vice President
for Business and Finance and the Principal Business Officer
on each of the campus of the University, with the written approval
of the Vice President and General Counsel or an attorney on
his or her staff, is hereby granted the delegated authority
to develop, adopt, and protect University trademarks, trade
names, copyrighted designs and other indicia on behalf of the
University of Nebraska, its major administrative units and the
various administrative subdivisions thereof.
The purpose of
this form is to provide the University with information regarding
proposed trademarks and service marks so that the University
may evaluate and decide whether to protect a proposed mark,
and if so, how to protect the mark.
Marks that incorporate
a design or logo must first be submitted for approval using
the secondary logo review process. The process requires review
and approval by the Chancellor, and the University-wide Identity
Committee, and the President. The University’s identity
standards can be found at http://www.nebraska.edu/media-resource-center/identity-standards.html.
Questions regarding logo approval or the University’s
identity standards should be forwarded to Vi Schroeder, Manager
of Publications and Photography, 420 Nebraska Hall, UNL 0524,
Phone - 472-3542, E-mail – vschroeder1@unl.edu.
