Trademarks
You may cite our trademarks properly as outlined herein to refer accurately to our products and services.
You may not, however, use our logos and design trademarks (as opposed to our trademarks that consist solely of words) without our prior written authorization.
In addition, you may not use our trademarks:
In, as, or as part of your own trademarks
To identify products or services that are not ours
In a manner likely to cause confusion
In a manner that implies inaccurately that we sponsor or endorse, or are otherwise connected with, your own activities, products, and services
Please follow these guidelines when using our trademarks.
Proper Notice
Please use the appropriate trademark notice (Æ, TM, or SM) with our trademarks. As used herein:
Æ indicates a trademark registered in the United States, which is either a trademark or a registered trademark in all other countries where it is used.
TM indicates a trademark that is presently unregistered.
SM indicates a service mark that is presently unregistered.
The appropriate notice for each of our trademarks is indicated on our trademark lists. If you are uncertain which notice to use with our trademarks, please contact us.
Wherever possible, the trademark notice should appear in superscript in a size smaller than the mark itself and without parentheses. Where such formatting is not available, however, place the appropriate letters in parentheses next to the mark.
Proper Use
Our trademarks are adjectives (brand names) modifying nouns (the generic product type). Please follow these guidelines in using our trademarks:
Please do not use our trademarks as nouns or verbs
Please do not pluralize our trademarks
Please do not hyphenate our trademarks
Please keep our trademarks distinct from other text, images, or material
Please do not alter, edit, modify, or combine our trademarks
Please do not render our trademarks possessive through use of an apostrophe
Please provide a proper trademark notice and attribution
Proper Attribution
When you use our trademarks in any materials, please include a brief statement attributing ownership of these trademarks to us.
This attribution should identify each mark used, attribute it to its proper owner by name, and indicate whether the trademark is registered.
