The Process
After the required paperwork is submitted to CLC (including any needed insurance information, marketing plans, etc.), the potential licensee and company information is sent to the University for review and approval. CLC will also forward any samples of product for the University to review production quality, and all relevant information to assist the University in the decision-making process.
The University will then review the company information, the product and its quality, and decide on whether to approve the company as a licensee. The approval process may include all or some individuals from the licensing agent, University Office of Communications, and other parties as appropriate.
Approval (or disapproval) of the licensee by the University will be sent to CLC, who will notify the potential licensee of the decision. Once approval has been granted, the licensee may proceed with submitting products/artwork for approval.
