Guidelines for Use of Mindjet Trademarks

Trademarks are very important to Mindjet. You may use Mindjet trademarks or product names to refer to Mindjet products and services provided you follow these guidelines.

Permissible and Correct Use

You may generally use Mindjet trademarks to refer to the associated Mindjet products or services. For instance, an authorized reseller can note in its advertisements that it is selling the specific Mindjet software. Similarly, a customer may issue a press release stating that it is using Mindjet software.

To comply with our legal requirements you must adhere to the following:

  • Your use must not mislead consumers as to any Mindjet sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your company, or your products or services.
  • You must not use Mindjet trademarks, Logos, or trade dress, or potentially confusing variations, as all or part of your company, product or service names.
  • You must not use any Mindjet trademark in such a manner that it appears Mindjet is legally associated with your company.
  • You must display your company name more prominently than any Mindjet trademark on all Web Site pages and on all materials, including product, packaging, advertising, and other collateral.
  • You must not vary Mindjet trademarks by changing their spelling or abbreviating them.
  • Any use of a Mindjet Logo to indicate compatibility with your software must be pursuant to a license (see Logos below).
  • Your use of a Mindjet trademark must not be obscene, pornographic, disparaging, defamatory or libelous to Mindjet.

Properly Identify Mindjet Products

When referencing Mindjet software, apply the appropriate trademark symbols in accordance with the list of current Mindjet trademarks outlined above. Use the ® or TM symbol with the most prominent appearance of the “Mindjet” mark on products, packaging, manuals, advertisements, promotional materials and Web Site pages (e.g. in the headline of an advertisement), and the first use of the mark in text or body copy. You should introduce the trademark as a proper adjective followed by the appropriate descriptor outlined in the table above. You must not use a Mindjet trademark in the possessive or plural form.

Use Trademark Notices

Include an attribution of Mindjet's ownership of the trademark(s) within the credit notice section of your documentation or advertisement. The format to follow is:

“(Appropriate trademark, such as 'Mindjet, MindManager and MindManager X5') are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Mindjet Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.”

Logos

You can find the Mindjet Logos in the Image Gallery at www.mindjet.com.

The Mindjet Corporate Logo may only be used in limited situations to refer to Mindjet.

Tag Lines

You may indicate the relationship of your products or services to Mindjet products or services by using accurate, descriptive tag lines such as “works with Mindjet 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.
