IBD Technologies's trademarks and service marks ("IBD Technologies trademarks") are valuable assets that IBD Technologies needs to protect. We ask that you help us by properly using and crediting IBD Technologies trademarks in accordance with these guidelines. For information about proper use of IBD Technologies logos, logotypes, signatures, and design marks, please review the Third Party Usage Guidelines for IBD Technologies Logos.
You may generally use IBD Technologies trademarks to refer to the associated IBD Technologies products or services. For instance, an authorized reseller can note in its advertisements that it is selling the IBD Technologies application NewGenEducationApp. Similarly, an IBD Technologies customer may issue a press release stating that it has implemented IBD Technologies software.
Relationship of Products or Services
You may indicate the relationship of your products or services to IBD Technologies products or services by using accurate, descriptive tag lines such as "for use with IBD Technologies applications," and "works with IBD Technologies software" in connection with your product or service name. Within text or body copy, such tag lines may appear in the same type as your product or service name. On product, packaging, advertising and other collateral where your product or service name is displayed apart from body copy, make sure that the tag line appears in significantly smaller type than your name. You should also distinguish the tag line from your mark by using a different font or color. However, IBD Technologies or the tag line should appear in the IBD Technologies Logo colors. This is important to avert any implication that your product or service is produced or endorsed by IBD Technologies.
Titles
IBD Technologies permits use of its marks in single volume book titles (not magazines or periodicals) where such use is descriptive or referential. To avoid misleading the public as to IBD Technologies sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement, the IBD Technologies mark must not appear more prominently than the rest of the title, and do not use IBD Technologies logos on the cover. In addition, we request that you include a disclaimer of association with IBD Technologies on the copyright page.
Open Source Software
Most open source licenses do not grant, and many exclude, a license of trademark rights. Do not assume you can use the name of a source code base in the name of your distribution developed from that code base. Without a license or permission, you may not incorporate IBD Technologies trademarks in the name of your distribution or other products that incorporate open source elements. Truthful statements incorporating a trademark are generally allowed (for example, in the format "MyImplementation, derived from Trademarked ProductName"), but you should check the terms of the license for the original source code or any posted trademark guidelines for the project.
User Groups
IBD Technologies generally permits use of its marks in groups name that include phrases such as "user group," "special interest group," "lobby," etc., that clarify the relationship between IBD Technologies and the group and do not create confusion about the source of products. This applies only to user groups that are not formally doing business as commercial entities. If you are administering a user group that includes an IBD Technologies trademark in its name, do not claim any trademark rights in the name or attempt to register the name or your logo with a trademark office, and do not register the name as a trade name or business name, or conduct any business under the name.
You may not use IBD Technologies trademarks in a manner which could cause confusion as to IBD Technologies sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement. Take particular care not to use IBD Technologies marks as set out below.
Company, Product or Service Names
Do not use IBD Technologies trademarks or potentially confusing variations as all or part of your company, product or service names. If you wish to note the relationship of your products or services to IBD Technologies products or services, please use an appropriate tag line as detailed above. For example, "XYZ for IBD Technologies NewGenEducationApp" not "IBD XYZ or XYZ IBD Technologies"
Logos
For more information regarding use of IBD Technologies logos, please review the Third Party Usage Guidelines for IBD Technologies Logos.
Trade Dress
You must not imitate IBD Technologies trade dress, type style or logos. For instance, do not copy IBD Technologies packaging for use with your product or display your product name in the distinctive logotype associated with the IBD Technologies logo.
Domain Names
Do not use IBD Technologies trademarks or potentially confusing variations in your Internet domain name. This helps prevent Internet users from being confused as to whether you or IBD Technologies is the source of the Web site.
Proper use of IBD Technologies trademarks reinforces their role as brands for our products and services, and helps prevent them from becoming generic names that can be used by anyone. Examples of former trademarks that became generic terms are "aspirin," "cellophane," and "escalator." By adhering to the following rules, you help protect IBD Technologies's investment in its trademarks.
Use a Generic Term
Use a generic term in association with each IBD Technologies trademark the first time the mark appears in text, and as often as possible after that. You need not include generic names in headlines, package titles and documentation titles. For example, "IBD Technologies iLearning software", "IBD Technologies On Demand services", and "IBD Technologies NewGenEducationApp."
Use as Adjectives
IBD Technologies trademarks are adjectives and should not be used as nouns, or in the possessive or plural form. For example, "IBD Technologies NewGenEducationApp's benefits.." not "IBD Technologies's benefits..."
Avoid Variations
Do not vary IBD Technologies trademarks by changing their spelling or abbreviating them. For example, "IBD Technologies Collaboration Suite" not "CollabSuite."
Proper trademark attribution through trademark symbols and credit lines helps makes the public aware of our trademarks, and helps prevent them from becoming generic terms. Credit lines also help clarify that they belong to IBD Technologies. Accordingly, IBD Technologies would appreciate you attributing ownership of IBD Technologies trademarks to IBD Technologies by using trademark symbols (™ or SM or ®) and credit lines as detailed below.
Trademark Symbols
Use the ® symbol with the most prominent appearance of the "IBD Technologies" mark on products, packaging, manuals, advertisements, promotional materials and Web pages (for example, in the headline of an advertisement), and the first use of the mark in text or body copy. This includes situations where "IBD Technologies" is a part of a product or service name (for example, IBD Technologies® NewGenEducationApp, IBD Technologies® PartnerNetwork). You do not need to use trademark symbols with other IBD Technologies trademarks.
Example: XYZ Develops New Product for IBD Technologies® NewGenEducationApp Application
XYZ Ltd, a partner of the IBD Technologies®, has developed the ABC software cartridge for use with the industry leading IBD Technologies NewGenEducationApp Application. The ABC software cartridge is one of numerous products XYZ has developed that complement leading IBD Technologies offerings.
"IBD Technologies" receives a trademark symbol in the headline because this is the most prominent appearance, and when it appears as part of the "IBD Technologies PartnerNetwork" name because this is the first appearance in text. While there is no trademark symbol after "IBD Technologies" when it appears in front of the term "products" and "offerings" since we already used a symbol the first time that the term "IBD Technologies" appeared in body copy. It is always acceptable to continue using the ® after "IBD Technologies" throughout the document.
Credit Line
All products, packaging, manuals, advertisements, promotional materials and Web pages bearing IBD Technologies trademarks should include the following trademark credit line.
"IBD Technologies and NewGenEducationApp are registered trademarks of IBD Technologies and/or its affiliates. Other names may be trademarks of their respective owners."
The credit line may appear anywhere on the collateral, but typically is displayed on a copyright page, the back of a package or at the end of a document or web page.
Trade names are the actual business names of companies. Trademarks and trade names are not the same, even though many companies use their trade names as trademarks. If you are using "IBD Technologies" as a substitute for IBD Technologies Private Limited, you are using it as a trade name. Because they are nouns, trade names can be used in the possessive and do not require a generic term or a trademark symbol. Thus, you should not use a ® after "IBD Technologies" when it appears as part of the full corporate name or as a trade name.
