Using Ufc on Etsy: Trademark Guide for Sellers

High Risk

Last updated: January 15, 2025

UFC, owned by Endeavor/TKO Group, enforces the UFC name, octagon branding, and fighter likenesses. The organization has become increasingly active in marketplace enforcement.

What You Can Do

  • Sell authentic licensed or pre-owned Ufc merchandise
  • Use "Ufc" in tags only when listing genuine licensed products
  • Create original sports-themed designs that do not use league or team logos
  • Sell generic sport-related items without referencing specific leagues or teams

What You Cannot Do

  • Use Ufc logos, team names, or league marks on unlicensed products
  • Sell fan-made jerseys, hats, or apparel featuring Ufc trademarks
  • Include Ufc in titles or tags for items that are not officially licensed
  • Copy official Ufc designs, color schemes, or trade dress

Safe Alternatives

  • Create original sports-themed designs using generic imagery (balls, fields, trophies)
  • Use general sports terminology instead of league, team, or event names
  • Design items around the sport itself (e.g., "football fan") rather than specific organizations
