The Crafter Licensing Program allows for independent artisans to participate in the University of Utah's licensing program by legally producing products adorned with the University’s logos and wordmarks. Through this program, crafters enter into a simple contract with the University of Utah that grants permissions to individuals to produce and sell licensed products displaying the University of Utah indicia. This allows crafters to legally benefit from the popularity of Utah's flagship institution.

All individuals must obtain approval prior to using any of the University of Utah's marks and/or names on any product. The University of Utah is the sole owner of all trademarks, names, and logos in reference to the University; therefore, it has the right to grant permission as well as protect and enforce the use of its marks.
