Trademark Usage Guidelines

ASEBA has gained valuable rights by the proper and continuous usage of trademarks to identify its goods and services. If a trademark is used improperly, its value can become diluted or generic. Properly using our trademarks by following these trademark usage guidelines protects and preserves the value of our trademarks and the ASEBA brand.What a Trademark Means A trademark is a word, name, symbol, device, design, phrase, sound, or color adopted and used by ASEBA to identify its goods and services and to distinguish them from other goods and services. Trademarks are usually noted with either a ™ or a ® symbol. In the United States, a trademark that is noted by a ™ has not been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and a trademark noted with an ® has been registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Trademarks, however, may also be registered internationally and each country has different laws regarding the proper notation of trademarks.
Referential Trademark Usage You may use an ASEBA trademark or product name to refer specifically to such ASEBA products in marketing and promotional materials, books, conferences, applications, demonstrations, and so on. You are permitted to use an ASEBA trademark referentially provided that: 

• You adhere to these ASEBA Trademark Usage Guidelines.
  
• You do not disparage ASEBA products and services.
  
• You display your name or logo more prominently than any ASEBA trademark.
  
• You include a disclaimer that ASEBA does not sponsor, affiliate, or endorse your product and/or services.

You must have your own distinct trademark, service mark, trade name, domain name, product name, or logo that does not include any ASEBA trademarks. You may, however, referentially use the ASEBA trademark in connection with your product. Also, you may not use a variation, combination, or abbreviation of an ASEBA trademark.

2. Merchandise items. You may not manufacture, sell, or give away merchandise items, such as T-shirts and mugs, bearing ASEBA trademarks or logos, except pursuant to an express written trademark license from ASEBA.
