Trademark Enforcement

CLC has the ability and resources to respond quickly and aggressively to all enforcement problems. With an experienced legal staff, CLC successfully resolves many trademark infringements through its in–house cease and desist program.

CLC’s Legal Department is responsible for facilitating nationwide enforcement efforts through alliances with industry organizations devoted to the protection of intellectual property rights; gathering data and conducting analysis on the results from local marketplace surveys and enforcement actions at major athletic events; and providing a trademark watch service. Additionally, the Legal Department advises Consortium institutions on issues related to risk management and product liability insurance. Over the past several years, the Legal Department has led CLC’s efforts to assist collegiate institutions and licensees in developing labor codes and monitoring systems.
