Internal Request Process to Order Items with Duke's Name and/or Trademarks
Duke's Trademark Licensing Policy requires that ALL items bearing any of Duke's names, trademarks, logos, images, or those for Duke organizations, departments, events, etc. be purchased only from licenssed Duke vendors (Duke Licensee).
While Duke Registered Student Organizations, departments, and internal groups can order from any licensed Duke vendor, most order from Internal Campus Suppliers: promotional companies expressly approved to support campus stakeholders. Common items include apparel, accessories, drinkware, and many other promotional items.

1 A Duke Approved Vendor and a Duke Licensee are two different things. A Duke Licensee is a company that is authorized to manufacture or print items that bear Duke's name, trademarks, logos, images, etc. or those for Duke organizations, departments, events, etc. Duke policy requires that only Duke Licensees be used for this purpose. A Duke Approved Vendor cannot manufacture or print items that bear Duke's name, trademarks, logos, images, etc. or those for Duke organizations, departments, events, etc., unless that Duke Approved Vendor is also a Duke Licensee.
