👉 Support genuine software, safeguard information security, and respect intellectual property rights — protecting yourself in the process!


📌 Why should we pay attention?

  • The school emblem, department logos, and mascots are important intellectual property of the school.

  • Using them in commercial activities or on products without authorization may constitute trademark infringement or improper exploitation of the school’s reputation.


⚖️ Legal Liability

  • Involving the Trademark Act and the Fair Trade Act,

  • misuse may lead to infringement compensation or damage to the school’s reputation.

  • Improper use may even constitute fraud or consumer deception.


✅ Correct Practices

  • Before using, first confirm whether authorization from the school is required.

  • For on-campus activities: follow the school’s identity system guidelines.

  • For external activities or products: apply for and obtain proper authorization before use.


❌ Common Misuses

  • Student clubs producing and selling merchandise with the school emblem on their own

  • Using the school name or logo in external commercial activities

  • Unauthorized modification of the school emblem or mascot image and making it public
