Merchandise

The MIT Technology Licensing Office (TLO) and MIT Communications Initiatives (CI) work together to review and approve designs for MIT-branded merchandise. Licensees are required to provide a PDF of proposed designs for new items and for items being reordered to mitmerch@mit.edu. MIT departments will need to submit designs to dept-merch@mit.edu, and MIT student groups will need to submit designs to student-merch@mit.edu.

According to MIT’s trademark license agreement, MIT has 14 days to respond to your design submission. We will, however, make our best effort to respond within 3 to 5 business days.

Upon design approval, we may request a production sample using the actual manufacturing process and materials to review the production quality.
