Trademarks and Licensing

Trademarks and Licensing manages the proper use of Northland's (academic and athletic) name, logos and signature marks to protect the integrity of the College’s identity, brand and reputation.

Licensed Vendors

Using an authorized licensed vendor is required when ordering Northland (academic or athletic) branded items. Licensed vendors are aware of our strict brand requirements, maintain high sustainability standards and keep the proper liability insurance to protect the College in case of product failure. They’re also more likely to provide competitive pricing, so don’t hesitate to ask for a discount or price match.
