All licensed goods and services for sale to the public are subject to a royalty. The royalty rate is determined by Purdue and is subject to change by Purdue. Purdue Trademark Licensing or Purdue's authorized licensing agent administers the royalty policy.

Purdue Trademark Licensing may grant exemptions from royalty payments in the following situations on a case-by case basis:

• Items purchased by Purdue for its use ("internal consumption"). This includes items purchased for conferences and University-sponsored sports camps arranged by Continuing Education Administration (CEA). Also included are promotional items that are given away by Purdue departments. A licensee must produce these items unless an exception is granted by Purdue Trademark Licensing.
• Items purchased by Purdue student organizations for official fundraising purposes, approved by the Office of the Dean of Students.
• Items purchased by non-Purdue philanthropic groups for fundraising purposes. 

Purdue Trademark Licensing will provide licensed manufacturers with written notification that these goods are exempted from royalty payments. Purdue Trademark Licensing will provide written permission if an unlicensed manufacturer produces any of these goods. All other provisions of this policy regarding Trademarks apply to items that are exempt from royalty payments.

Disbursement of Royalty Income

Royalties generated by the licensing program are disbursed at the discretion of the Vice President for Business Services and Assistant Treasurer.
