Any individual or company that wishes to receive Fort Lewis College’s express permission to use any or all of its trademarks/logos on products or for services sold in the marketplace, whether wholesale, retail or online, must be licensed. 

Merchandise produced without authorization may be considered counterfeit or infringing and subject to all available legal remedies.

Fort Lewis College will not license activity which it believes would disparage the college or any of its trademarks, or would be libelous, slanderous, scandalous, offensive, vulgar or constitute an unfair trade practice, or otherwise reflect negatively on the college.

Any use of Fort Lewis College’s marks with other trademarks must be approved by the 
Licensing Coordinator, or through a contract.
