For Licensees
Trademark agreements enable you to sell more products by including NC State branding, such as the Block S, Tuffy and other registered marks associated with our brand.
Our licensees are valued partners who help the Office of Strategic Brand Management ensure brand integrity and quality assurance while increasing brand awareness. Royalties collected from the sale of licensed products directly fund university scholarships. NC State is a proud Fair Labor Association (FLA) member, and requires the same of all of our licensed vendors.
