Rules for Proper Use of BizTrek Trademarks

1. Always spell and capitalize BizTrek’s trademarks exactly as they are shown … BizTrek. Do not add a hyphen or space. Always capitalize the “B” and “T.” Do not make up names that contain BizTrek trademarks.

2. Use the BizTrek trademarks only as adjectives followed by the appropriate generic product or service noun describing the relevant product or service (e.g., “the BizTrek® Master Class”). BizTrek trademarks should not be used in plural or possessive form or as verbs.

References to BizTrek Inc.

When BizTrek is used to refer to our company, BizTrek Inc., rather than as a brand of product or services, then the rules for proper usage change slightly. Unlike trademarks, company names are proper nouns; they can be used in the possessive form and do not need to be followed by a generic term. Neither the ™ nor ® symbol should accompany references to BizTrek as a company. Example:

Correct: BizTrek is building a growing legion of faithful fans.

Incorrect: BizTrek® is now offering its customers more choices than ever.

Proper Trademark Notice and Attribution

1. Distribution Within the United States or Canada Only:

a. On product, product documentation, or other product communications that will be distributed only in the United States or Canada, use the appropriate trademark symbol (TM, SM, ®) the first time the BizTrek trademark appears in the text of the advertisement, brochure, or other material.

b. Use the correct trademark symbol, spelling of the trademark, and generic term to use with the trademark. Generally, the symbol appears at the right foot of the trademark.

c. Include an attribution of BizTrek’s ownership of its trademarks within the credit notice section of your communication.

Following are the correct formats:

_________ and _______ are registered trademarks of BizTrek Inc.

_________ and _______ are trademarks of BizTrek Inc.

2. Distribution Outside the United States or Canada:

a. Do not use trademark symbols on products, product documentation, or other product communications that will be distributed outside the United States or Canada.

b. Use one of the following international credit notices:

_________ is a trademark of BizTrek Inc.

_________ is a trademark of BizTrek Inc., registered in the U.S. and Canada.

Depictions of BizTrek Products and Services

Endorsement or Sponsorship: BizTrek does not support the use of its logos, company names, product names, or images of BizTrek products by other parties in marketing, promotional or advertising materials as their use may create the perception that BizTrek endorses or sponsors the product, service or promotion.
