Basic rules of usage of Sounds Logical's trademarks

  1. When using a Sounds Logical trademark ("SL Mark"), use the registered trademark symbol ® or the TM symbol, as indicated in the above example, on the most prominent (or if none is prominent, the first) appearance of a SL Mark. For any SL Mark that is not registered, the TM symbol should be used in place of the registered trademark symbol ® . Once marked, it is not normally necessary to mark subsequent appearances of the trademark in the piece. Every appearance of SL Logos in stylized form should always appear with the appropriate ® or TM symbol, and may be used only under license with SL - unauthorized use is strictly prohibited. Shown above are a list of current SL Marks that reflects the registration status of certain SL Marks. This list will be updated from time to time.

  2. When using an SL Mark, never vary the spelling, add or delete hyphens, make one word two, or use a possessive or plural form of the SL Mark. SL word marks must always be used as adjectives followed by a generic term (such as "software" or "system"), and never as nouns or verbs.

  3. Sounds Logical may from time to time modify the SL Marks. Sounds Logical will use commercially reasonable efforts to give licensees advance notice of such modifications.

  4. In order to assure compliance and quality of control, you will, upon request from Sounds Logical, provide samples of any marketing and advertising materials that include the SL Marks.

  5. In any place where they appear together, the SL Marks and any associated text must be at least as large as the trademark and text of another vendor.

  6. Sounds Logical is the owner of all right, title, and interest in the SL Marks and Licensee agrees that it will not challenge the validity of Sounds Logical ownership of the SL Marks. Licensees shall not reproduce or use (or authorize the reproduction or use of) the SL Marks in any manner other than expressly authorized by Sounds Logical.

When using the words Sounds Logical or WaveWarp, use the trademark symbol TM symbol, as indicated in the above examples, on the most prominent (or if none is prominent, the first) appearance of its use on a page. Once marked with the TM symbol, it is not normally necessary to mark subsequent appearances of the trademark in the piece.

Third Party Licensors

Certain Sounds Logical products include technology used under license from third party licensors. You may not use any of third party trademarks without express permission from the third party owner of the trademarks.

Rules for Proper Trademark Use

Always Use Marks as Proper Adjectives

A trademark is an adjective and should not be used as a verb or noun or in the possessive or plural forms. Every trademark of Sounds Logical has a "product descriptor" (i.e. a noun) that should follow the trademark in all materials.

Proper Adjectives Generic Name or Descriptor
Sounds LogicalTM company
WaveWarpTM software
WaveWarp Audio ToolboxTM software
WaveWarp DrawingBoardTM software feature

Do not abbreviate or Alter Mark or Create an Acronym

For example, do NOT use the following:

SL for Sounds LogicalTM
WW for WaveWarpTM
DB for WaveWarp DrawingBoardTM

Do Not Combine Our Marks with Those of Another Company

Wrong: "Sounds Logical VortexMaker software"
Correct:"Sounds Logical software for VortexMaker"

Set Off Marks from Ordinary Words

Example: the WaveWarp effects processing software

Use the Correct Symbols/Footnotes

Symbols:
® = the trademark or service mark is registered
TM = common law trademark or service mark is claimed

Sounds Logical policy is to use the ® symbol if the mark is registered in any international Patent and Trademark Office. The Sounds Logical trademark list indicates which trademarks are registered in any international Patent and Trademark Office.

Footnotes:

On all packaging, copyright pages, English language data sheets, press releases and internationally distributed collateral:

"_______ is either a registered trademark or trademark of Sounds Logical."

It is Sounds Logical policy that all Sounds Logical trademarks are footnoted whenever space allows. The footnote normally appears on the copyright page or on the last page of the material. Sounds Logical will also identify and footnote those trademarks of other companies where we have a contractual obligation. Trademark footnotes should always be complete sentences with registered trademarks listed first, followed by unregistered trademarks.

Product Packaging

Special attention should be devoted to the correct use of Sounds Logical trademarks on the product packaging. Sounds Logical trademarks and any Sounds Logical product names appearing on the package should be designated with the appropriate trademark symbol (® or TM) once on each side of the package the first time they appear, starting at the top of that side. Footnotes for Sounds Logical trademarks should also appear on the back of the package. Unless required by contract, no trademark symbols for non-Sounds Logical products need appear on the front or side panels of the package. However, such third-party trademarks that appear anywhere on the package should also appear in the copy on the back of the package. These third-party trademarks should not be footnoted on the packaging, unless the product is marketed by Sounds Logical or a footnote is required by a license agreement.

Slide Shows

When copy is written for an overhead presentation to the public or may be converted into hard copy for dissemination to resellers or end users, trademarks should be marked and footnoted. Sounds Logical trademarks should be marked and footnoted on overhead and disk demonstrations. When copy is written for a nonpublic presentation and will not be taken away in hard-copy form by viewers or publicly disseminated, the trademarks should be marked but need not be footnoted.

Books and Manuals

The titles of books and manuals should also use the full product name with the generic descriptors. Attribution to both Sounds Logical and third party trademarks that we are contractually obligated to attribute should be included on the copyright page.
