Step by step

Getting your University of Kentucky license.

01
Create your company profile in BrandComply CAMPUS
Register your company with your business details, product categories, factories and sales channels. This profile is what the licensing team reviews first.
02
Apply for University of Kentucky
Submit a license application for University of Kentucky with a marketing plan written for its fans. Focus on the categories and channels you'll actually use, and show real retail demand.
03
Send insurance and supply-chain documents
Expect a certificate of insurance with an additional insured endorsement naming the licensor, typically occurrence-based product liability coverage written as dollar figures. You'll also disclose the factories that will make licensed product and confirm your code of conduct.
04
Sign the agreement and pay the advance
When University of Kentucky approves, you'll sign a license agreement that sets your categories, channels and royalty rate, and pay any advance due at signing.
05
Get every design approved before you produce
A signed license doesn't clear you to manufacture. Each product category and sales channel is approved separately, and every piece of artwork is submitted and approved before production. Even small color corrections are resubmitted, so the finished product matches what was approved.
06
Report royalties on time
File royalty reports in BrandComply CAMPUS on the schedule your agreement sets, including periods with no sales. Late or missing reports can hold artwork approvals or end the license.

Mistakes that slow University of Kentucky approvals

Asking for every category and channel instead of a focused request.
