The University of Oregon’s sports mascot, the Oregon Duck, is owned solely by Disney Enterprises, Inc., and use of this character is strictly limited. This program is licensed separately from other university trademarks under very strict guidelines. Licensing applications to use the Oregon sports mascot are not currently being accepted.

Any University of Oregon representation in combination with other words or graphics descriptive or suggestive of the University of Oregon is protected. This includes, but is not limited to, UNIVERSITY OF OREGON (TM), OREGON DUCKS (TM), GO DUCKS (TM), OREGON FOOTBALL (TM), OREGON BASKETBALL (TM), OREGON TRACK AND FIELD (TM), and venue names HAYWARD FIELD, AUTZEN STADIUM, MAC COURT, and HOWE FIELD.

If your intent is to imply a connection with the University of Oregon by using graphics or phrases confusingly similar to university marks, it is likely that you are infringing on our rights.
