"A trademark is a distinctive mark placed on or attached to goods by a manufacturer or dealer to identify them as made or sold by that particular firm or person. The use of a trademark indicates that the maker or dealer believes that the quality of the goods will enhance his or her standing or goodwill, and a known trademark indicates to a buyer the reputation that is staked on the goods.

"Registration of a trademark is necessary in some countries to give exclusive right to it. In the United States, Canada and Great Britain the sufficient use of a trademark not previously used establishes exclusive right to it, but registration is provided as an aid in defending that right. In the United States trademarks are registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Internationally, trademark registration is facilitated by the World Intellectual Property Organization, under the Madrid Protocol. Imitations of a trademark wrong both the owner of the trademark and the buyer, who is misled as to the source of goods, and such infringements of a trademark are punishable by law." The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition(2001-05).

Trademarks may also be considered any design, symbol, art, seal, word or groups of words that have come to be associated with the university.

Campus groups, registered student organizations or sports clubs may make use of the university name in its title, publications or stationery (with prior approval) but may not use the name in a way that would convey an endorsement, approval or underwriting of the organization, product, activity, service or contract by South Dakota State University.

Use of alcohol, tobacco, or illegal substance graphics, or descriptions or unauthorized use of the trademark, is prohibited in conjunction with the university's name or trademarks.
