Using Copyrighted Works

Syracuse University’s faculty, students, and staff produce, distribute, and share a wide range of works in a variety of media. Members of the University community also use others’ works while pursuing research, curricular, and scholarly goals. As a result, everyone at Syracuse University has a stake in a copyright system that efficiently balances a copyright owner’s exclusive rights with the public’s ability to use those same works.

Intellectual Property

Since its founding in 1870, Syracuse University has built a national reputation for academic and athletic excellence. Apparel and other items bearing the marks of Syracuse University are in great demand because of the ever growing popularity of Syracuse University and New York’s College Team. The licensing program was developed to protect, promote, and support Syracuse University. It also insures that the Syracuse University trademarks are used only on quality products printed with appropriate graphics so that the image conveyed protects the name, brand, and reputation of the University.
