Written permission for use of University names, marks, symbols, images and copyrighted material must be obtained except where the use is made by a University employee for official university business purposes as determined by Office of Trademark Licensing rules, or where the use is clearly allowed under University policy, regulation or rule.

(E.g., a business wants to print one of the university's wolf images on tote bags or a private apartment complex wants to use the name "NC State Commons"). If the proposed use is related to sponsored research, athletics or some other discrete area of the university, the Trademark Licensing office will consult with that unit before making a decision. 2.2.
