Questions
Permissible
Use
You may generally use Paliwoda Group trademarks to refer to the associated Paliwoda Group products or services. For instance, an authorized reseller can note in its advertisements that it is selling a Paliwoda Group product. Similarly, a Paliwoda Group customer may issue a press release stating that it has implemented Paliwoda Group software.
Relationship of Products or Services
You may indicate the relationship of your products or services to Paliwoda Group products or services by using accurate, descriptive tag lines such as "for Paliwoda Group database," "for use with Paliwoda Group Business Solution applications," and "works with Paliwoda Group 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, Paliwoda Group or the tag line should never appear in The Paliwoda Group blue color. This is important to avert any implication that your product or service is produced or endorsed by The Paliwoda Group.
Titles
The Paliwoda Group 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 The Paliwoda Group sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement, the Paliwoda Group mark must not appear more prominently than the rest of the title, and do not use Paliwoda Group logos on the cover. In addition, we request that you include a disclaimer of association with The Paliwoda Group on the copyright page.
Prohibited
Use
You may not use Paliwoda Group trademarks in a manner which could cause confusion as to Paliwoda Group sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement. Take particular care not to use Paliwoda Group marks as set out below.
Company, Product or Service Names
Do not use Paliwoda Group 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 Paliwoda Group products or services, please use an appropriate tag line as detailed above. For example, "XYZ for Paliwoda Group database" not "PaliwodaXYZ or XYZ Paliwoda Group"
Logos
For more information regarding use of Paliwoda Group logos, please review the Third Party Usage Guidelines for Paliwoda Group Logos.
Trade Dress
You must not imitate Paliwoda Group trade dress, type style or logos. For instance, do not copy Paliwoda Group packaging for use with your product or display your product name in the distinctive logotype associated with the Paliwoda Group logo.
Domain Names
Do not use Paliwoda Group trademarks or potentially confusing variations in your Internet domain name. This helps prevent Internet users from being confused as to whether you or The Paliwoda Group is the source of the Web site.
Correct
Use
Proper use of Paliwoda Group 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 The Paliwoda Group's investment in its trademarks.
Use a Generic Term
Use a generic term in association with each Paliwoda Group 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, "Paliwoda Group software", "Paliwoda Group services", and "Paliwoda Group database."
Use as Adjectives
Paliwoda Group's trademarks are adjectives and should not be used as nouns, or in the possessive or plural form. For example, "Paliwoda Group database's benefits..." not "Paliwoda Group's benefits..."
Avoid Variations
Do not vary Paliwoda Group trademarks by changing their spelling or abbreviating them. For example, "Paliwoda Group eSolutions Suite" not "PG eSolutions".
Trademark
Symbols and Credit Lines
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 The Paliwoda Group. Accordingly, The Paliwoda Group would appreciate you attributing ownership of Paliwoda Group trademarks to The Paliwoda Group, Inc. 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 "Paliwoda Group" mark on products, packaging, manuals, advertisements, promotional materials and Web pages (e.g., in the headline of an advertisement), and the first use of the mark in text or body copy. This includes situations where "Paliwoda Group" is a part of a product or service name (e.g., Paliwoda Group™ eSolutions Suite, Paliwoda Group™ Partners Network).
Example: XYZ Develops New Product for Paliwoda Group™ eSolutions Suite
XYZ Corporation, a member of The Paliwoda Group™ Partners Network program, has developed the ABC software cartridge for use with the industry leading Paliwoda Group business intelligence application. The ABC software cartridge is one of numerous products XYZ has developed that complement leading Paliwoda Group offerings.
"Paliwoda Group" receives a trademark symbol in the headline because this is the most prominent appearance, and when it appears as part of the "Paliwoda Group Partners Network" name because this is the first appearance in text. While there is no trademark symbol after "Paliwoda Group" when it appears in front of the term "products" and "offerings" since we already used a symbol the first time that the term "Paliwoda Group" appeared in body copy. It is always acceptable to continue using the ™ after "Paliwoda Group" throughout the document.
Credit Line
All products, packaging, manuals, advertisements, promotional materials and Web pages bearing Paliwoda Group trademarks should include the following trademark credit line.
"Paliwoda Group eSolutions Suite, ProductScope360, telemego, and Kaizen Analytics are trademarks of The Paliwoda Group, Inc. and/or its affiliates."
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.
"Paliwoda Group" as
a Trade Name
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 "Paliwoda Group" as a substitute for The Paliwoda Group, Inc., 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 "Paliwoda Group" when it appears as part of the full corporate name or as a trade name.
Examples:
- Corporate Name: This software was developed by The Paliwoda Group, Inc.
- Trade Name: This software was developed by The Paliwoda Group.
- Trade Name: The Paliwoda Group's latest software developments are outstanding.
- Trademark: The Paliwoda Group™ business intelligence applications suite leads the industry.
