Vendors have found that UBC’s endorsement of a product can substantially add to its value and marketability and may ask you for such an endorsement. Your personal endorsement of any product does not constitute UBC’s endorsement and should not be given in any way that might lead anyone to believe it does. You can read the whole policy on the university counsel website.
In order for UBC to continue to attract and retain its students, faculty, and staff, it must take active steps to protect its reputation and identity. One way the university protects its reputation is by registering and policing its trademarks. The portfolio of UBC trademarks is managed by the Office of the University Counsel.
You can read the complete list of University Trademarks on the Office of the University Counsel’s website for more information on trademarks at UBC.
