General XenoSystems Trademark Guidelines
|
Please follow XenoSystems guidelines when referencing XenoSystems trademarks
and the names of XenoSystems software, products, and services on packaging,
promotional materials, advertising, web sites, and other collateral. These
guidelines set the basic structure for referential use of all XenoSystems
trademarks and XenoSystems software, product, and service names.
The name XenoSystems is synonymous with high-quality computer software
products and services. XenoSystems trademarks are extremely valuable because
they represent the standards of excellence and consistent quality associated
with XenoSystems. This page contains detailed information about how to
reference XenoSystems trademarks in different scenarios.
Referencing XenoSystems Trademarks in Text
Proper use of XenoSystems trademarks is important. You may use XenoSystems
trademarks or product names to refer to XenoSystems products and services
provided you follow these guidelines. Your use must not mislead consumers as to
any XenoSystems sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your company, or
your products or services.
Properly Identify XenoSystems Brand Products
When referencing XenoSystems software and products, apply the appropriate
trademark symbols in accordance with the list of current XenoSystems
trademarks.
Set XenoSystems Trademarks Apart From Other Words or Nouns They Modify
The common way to do this is to capitalize the product name and use the
appropriate trademark symbol and appropriate descriptor. You may also
underline, italicize, or bold the name. Examples:
Correct: After you install the Encryptafile™ application...
Incorrect: After installing the encryptafile program you can...
Use Trademark Notices
Include an attribution of XenoSystems' ownership of the trademark(s) within the
credit notice section of your documentation or advertisement. The format to
follow is:
"XenoSystems, Encryptafile, and EncrytpafileReader are either registered
trademarks or trademarks of XenoSystems in the United States and/or other
countries."
Do Not Shorten, Abbreviate, or Create Acronyms out of XenoSystems Trademarks
Correct: The product, Encryptafile™, is...
Incorrect: The product, E-File, is...
Do Not Use XenoSystems Trademarks in the Possessive or Plural Form
XenoSystems trademarks should never be used in the possessive or plural form,
but should be introduced as a proper adjective followed by an appropriate
descriptor.
Correct: The encrypted files were created using Encryptafile™
Incorrect: So-and-so Company used some Encryptafiles to show what
encrypted files look like
Logos
Do not use the XenoSystems logo, or any other XenoSystems logos, symbols, or
icons on or in connection with products, packaging, manuals,
promotional/advertising materials, or web site for any purpose except pursuant
to an express written trademark license from XenoSystems.
The XenoSystems Logo may only be used in limited situations to refer to
XenoSystems.
Link Logos
You may place a text link to a XenoSystems web page on your site if the text
link is not a prominent feature on the site or used in any way to confuse or
mislead consumers. You may refer to the XenoSystems company name or XenoSystems
product and service names in a plain text font and format, provided this use
follows our general trademark guidelines, and you include appropriate wording
such as "This way to www.XenoSystems.com." Except for the Link Logos as
provided by XenoSystems, you may not use the XenoSystems corporate logo or any
other XenoSystems logo or graphic to link to XenoSystems. You may only use
XenoSystems link logos in accordance with the guidelines applicable to each
logo as provided.
Web Sites
You may reference XenoSystems product, service, and technology names on your
web site to indicate that a file is compatible with the referenced XenoSystems
product or technology, provided the reference complies with the guidelines
herein. Do not use any XenoSystems trademark in the title of your web site or
as a second-level domain name. You may not use any XenoSystems logo without a
license or written specifications from XenoSystems.
Publications, Seminars, and Conferences
You may reference XenoSystems product, service, and technology names on the
cover of magazines and periodicals, and in the title of seminars and
conferences provided you comply with the guidelines herein and the following
specifications:
- The publication, seminar, or conference should relate to the specific
XenoSystems product, service, or technology referenced.
- Your name and logo should appear more prominently than the XenoSystems word
mark on all printed materials related to the magazine, periodical, seminar, or
conference.
- A disclaimer of sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement by XenoSystems,
similar to the example below, should be included on the publication and all
related printed materials:
-
"(Title) is an independent (publication) and is not affiliated with, nor has it
been authorized, sponsored, or otherwise approved by XenoSystems. "
- You should include a trademark attribution per the notice format provided in
the Use Trademark Notices
section of this page.
- Do not use a XenoSystems trademark as the leading word (or most prominent
element) in your magazine, periodical, seminar, or conference title. You may
use XenoSystems trademarks in a referential manner such as "XYZ MAGAZINE for
the Encryptafile application." Use outside this referential manner (such as
"Encryptafile Magazine") requires a license from XenoSystems.
- Do not use the XenoSystems corporate logo, or any other XenoSystems logo on or
in the publication, or on any materials related to the publication, seminar, or
conference. Special circumstances may merit a license from XenoSystems.
- Do not use a XenoSystems trademark in any manner that suggests XenoSystems'
affiliation, sponsorship, or certification of the magazine, periodical,
seminar, or conference.
Box Shots, Screen Shots, and Icons
Box shots, screen shots, and some icons may be used pursuant to XenoSystems'
guidelines for these items. Read about each on the Copyrights: Use of Images

place your company name, trademarks, service marks, or product names next to
(or combine them with) a XenoSystems product name.
Endorsement or Sponsorship

XenoSystems' affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, certification, or approval.

mugs, etc. bearing any XenoSystems trademark, including logos, except pursuant
