Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Florida
licensing
I was interested in using college sports logos on a game to sell, do you need a licensing agreement of some sort to do this?

Re: licensing
The answer is yes. You do not have rights in the trademarks which most collegiate logos represent. You may also find that it is cost prohibitive to do so; for example, Notre Dame or USC for a football oriented game will cost you a fortune.
We would be happy to discuss this further with you.
