A system and method for managing sponsorships by a sponsor, in which the
party requesting the sponsorship requests to use content owned and
protected by the sponsor, such as trademarks, logos, and copyrighted
material. An embodiment of the method involves receiving, at a computer
network site, a request for sponsorship from a requester and responding
to the request by sending either an approval or a rejection. If an
approval is sent, the method further involves providing the requestor
with access to content of the sponsor through the site. As part of
providing this access, the method can involve requiring the requestor to
accept an agreement posted on the site. The method can also include
monitoring the requestor's actual use of the content.
