Trademark Usage Guideline

Introduction
The products of Arel Communications and Software, Ltd. are used to create the most advanced live e-learning and Enterprise Communications Systems available via satellite, video conferencing and Internet Protocol networks. Throughout the world, our trademarks identify our products so that consumers know they are buying Arel's high-quality products and services. Arel 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 Arel brand.

What is a trademark?
A trademark is a word, name, symbol, device, design, phrase, sound, or color adopted and used by Arel Communications and Software, Ltd. 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 Arel trademark or product name to refer specifically to such Arel product in marketing and promotional materials, books, conferences, applications, demonstrations, and so on. You are permitted to use an Arel trademark referentially provided that:

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

General trademark usage guidelines

1.  Use appropriate markings. Always capitalize the product name and designate the trademark with the appropriate or ® symbol. Also, the first usage or most prominent usage of an Arel product name must be used in conjunction with the Arel® trademark and in the same type size, font, color and line.
 
Incorrect:
The live broadcast capabilities of Arel Spotlight are excellent.
 
Correct:

2. Use Arel trademarks as adjectives. Always use Arel trademarks as adjectives that describe the generic product. A trademark is an adjective to be used with the noun it modifies.

3.  Do not use any Arel trademark as your trademark, service mark, trade name, domain name, product name, or logo. Arel trademarks identify the goods and services of Arel Communication and Software, Ltd. No third-party may use any Arel trademark as their trademark, service mark, trade name, domain name, product name, or logo. You must have your own distinct trademark, service mark, trade name, domain name, product name, or logo that does not include any Arel trademarks. You may, however, referentially use the Arel trademark in connection with your product. Also, you may not use a variation, combination, or abbreviation of an Arel trademark.
 
Correct:
ABC Software for use with Arel Spotlight software.

4.  Attribute ownership of Arel trademarks to Arel. When you refer to an Arel trademark, please include the following notice of trademark attribution where appropriate, such as on your product, printed materials, and online.
 
Correct:
Arel and Arel Spotlight are trademarks or registered trademarks of Arel Communication and Software, Ltd. in the United States and/or other countries.

Specific trademark usage guidelines

1.  You may not use any Arel logos (including buttons and graphic symbols) without a trademark license from Arel. All usage of trademark logos shall be pursuant to these guidelines and any other guidelines associated with that logo.

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