Welcome

Trademark licensing exists to protect and promote the names, marks, and logos of Kansas State University, and is administered by the Director of Trademark Licensing. K-State is contracted with the agency Affinity Licensing to help in the administration, protection, and marketing of our program.

If you are needing to purchase K-State products, please visit the retailers section of our site. As you are out looking for K-State gear, be sure to look for the officially licensed label.

This is a resource for those who are licensed and those interested in becoming licensed.
