Trademark Requirements
iv3® Third-Party Trademark and Logo Usage Requirements
These Trademark and Logo Usage Requirements (“Usage Requirements”) set forth IV3 SOLUTIONS® Corporation’s rules for third parties using or referring to iv3®’s brand names, trademarks, service marks, product and service names, logos, and slogans (collectively referred to as “iv3® Marks”). They apply to all non-iv3® parties using or making reference to IV3® Marks unless a separate license agreement applies. Other requirements apply to iv3® licensees and are set forth in a specific license agreement.
General
IV3®’s Marks are IV3® intellectual property and are important and valuable assets of the company. Any use of IV3® Marks that is inconsistent with these Usage Requirements, or other unauthorized use of IV3® Marks or marks that are confusingly similar to iv3® Marks, may violate iv3®’s legal rights. iv3® appreciates your compliance with these Usage Requirements and will take steps to protect the iv3® Marks against improper use and infringement. IV3® reserves the right to object to any use of iv3® Marks (or anything confusingly similar to a iv3® Mark) that iv3® deems to be unlawful under the circumstances, even if that use is not expressly prohibited by these Usage Requirements.
Fair Use of iv3® Marks
You may refer to iv3® products and services by their appropriate iv3® Mark (other than logos and stylized marks), so long as such references (a) are truthful, fair, and not misleading, and (b) comply with these Usage Requirements.
iv3® Logos and Stylized Marks
You should never use IV3® logos or stylizations of IV3® Marks unless you have a license agreement or other explicit written permission from IV3® to do so.
Proper Use of Trademark Symbols
Always use the proper trademark symbol (TM, sm, or ®) immediately following at least the first reference to the trademark on any page.
The exception to the above rule is when the “iv3®” name is used as our company name, as opposed to an identifier of one of our products or services. In this case you should not use the ® symbol.
Note the correct spelling of “iv3″ (not IV3).
Examples of Correct Uses of Some iv3® Marks
The following examples illustrate the correct use of (TM), (sm), or ® and the use of the trademark as an adjective with the correct generic noun or phrase:
- iv3® products and services
Check the list of iv3® trademarks below to verify how the iv3® Marks should appear.
Acknowledgment of Trademark Rights
Assuming your use of a iv3® trademark is permitted, you should always acknowledge that iv3 SOLUTIONS® Corporation owns the trademark. If it is not clear from the context of the use of the iv3® Mark, you should include a separate acknowledgment. The acknowledgment should appear in legible type in any materials in which a iv3® Mark appears. The following language is acceptable:
“IV3® and [Insert IV3® Marks used] are trademarks and/or registered trademarks of IV3 SOLUTIONS® Corporation.”
Materials that mention IV3® only:
“iv3® is a registered trademark of iv3 SOLUTIONS® Corporation.”
Remember that the inclusion of a trademark symbol and acknowledgment does not turn an improper use of a iv3® Mark into a proper use or entitle you to use any iv3® Mark in a way prohibited by law or otherwise not allowed under these Usage Requirements.
Prohibitions
- Do not use any iv3® Mark, and do not adopt a “look and feel” with respect to any publication or Web site, in a way that might cause confusion about the relationship between iv3® and any other party or any non-IV3® product or service (e.g., as to source, origin, sponsorship, or endorsement).
- Do not incorporate any iv3® Mark into your own product names, service names, trademarks, logos, or company names, and do not adopt marks or logos that are confusingly similar to any iv3® Marks.

- Do not state or imply that you have or are claiming rights in any iv3® Mark.
