What products are available for IB programmes?
With so many products and publications for the IB programmes on the market, it can be difficult to distinguish which are approved or endorsed by the International Baccalaureate itself. To help you make an informed choice, simply take note of the following categories:
- IB materials
Only materials produced by the IB itself should carry the IB logo or say “International Baccalaureate”, both of which are registered trademarks. The IB will not give permission for its name or logo to appear on any product other than one produced by the IB. A publisher or a supplier has to be working in cooperation with the IB to be permitted to use an IB trademark.
Examples of IB materials are:
- IB publications on the online curriculum centre or sold on the IB Store
- IB merchandise on the IB store
- IB materials produced under licence
The IB produces some materials in co-operation with other publishers or suppliers. The IB endorses such products and has been involved in their development.
Examples of IB endorsed publications that carry the IB ‘In cooperation with’ logo are:
- Oxford University Press IB Diploma Programme Course Companion series
- John Catt IB World Schools Yearbook 2009
Examples of the IB logo used under licence are the graduation gifts for Diploma students produced by suppliers Herff-Jones and Jostens.
- Other products for IB programmes
Several publishers and suppliers independently produce materials for IB programmes. While it is reasonable for them to show that their product is intended for the IB market, it should not feature any IB logo or trademark. Ideally, such products should say that they are intended ‘for use with’ the relevant IB programme.
If you have any queries concerning any materials, products or services offered by the IB, please contact sales@ibo.org.
