The question mostly pertains to the University trademark and patent
restrictions. I have worked with many organizations that had policies
preventing this as a way of "protecting" the University should the business
get into some sort of hot water. You might not want to be affiliated with
them.
Other organizations require the business to go through a very specific
approval/authorization process resulting in limited use of the
institution's name and logo. I have even had to "apply" for permission to
use a logo when all I wanted to do was put it on my official proposal for
services and consulting report!
Talk to legal and your internal office (probably Communications/Marketing)
who "owns" your name and logo.
