Portland State authorizes the use of the University’s name and logos on merchandise through a licensing and trademark program administered by CLC (Collegiate Licensing Company). CLC maintains the art sheets with the trademarked logos and designs for PSU.

CLC offers the following licenses to companies interested in producing licensed merchandise. All license applications are subject to the approval of individual institutions.
Standard License
