Collegiate Licensed Properties Association

The Indiana University Licensing Program is a proud member of the Collegiate Licensed Properties Association (CLPA) and requires all licensed companies to display the CLPA label on any product bearing Indiana University licensed trademarks.

The Collegiate Licensed Properties Association (CLPA) is a non-profit organization made up of colleges and universities who manage their own licensing program, or partner with the Licensing Resource Group (LRG) for trademark management services.

These institutions have come together to create the CLPA Authentication Program, which is designed to protect legitimate licenses from unlicensed and counterfeit products.  The CLP labels and hangtags are “Optically Variable Devices,” which combines several imaging techniques into a single image to create the high level of security found in the CLP labels.  Because of these security features, licensees will no longer be allowed to print or produce their own CLP label.
