Introduction
The award-winning products and e-business solutions of FET, Inc. empower developers and designers to deliver compelling and effective Web sites. Throughout the world, our trademarks identify our products so that consumers know they are buying FET's high-quality products and services. FET 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 FET brand.

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

You adhere to these FET Trademark Usage Guidelines.
You do not disparage FET or FET products and services.
You display your name or logo more prominently than any FET trademark.
You include a disclaimer that FET 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 a FET product name must be used in conjunction with the FET® trademark and in the same type size, font, color and line.
      
  2. Use FET trademarks as adjectives. Always use FET trademarks as adjectives that describe the generic product. A trademark is an adjective to be used with the noun it modifies.
     
    Also, because a trademark is an adjective, it should never be used as a possessive or in the plural form.
     
    Incorrect:
    FET® extensibility . . .
     
    Correct:
    The extensibility of FET®  software. 
     
  3. Do not use any FET trademark as your trademark, service mark, trade name, domain name, product name, or logo. FET trademarks identify the goods and services of FET, Inc. No third-party may use any FET 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 FET trademarks. You may, however, referentially use the FET trademark in connection with your product. Also, you may not use a variation, combination, or abbreviation of a FET trademark.
     
    Correct:
    Software for use with FET®.
     
  4. Attribute ownership of FET trademarks to FET. When you refer to a FET trademark, please include the following notice of trademark attribution where appropriate, such as on your product, printed materials, and online.
     
    Correct:
    FET and Precision Color are trademarks or registered trademarks of FET, Inc. in the United States and/or other countries. 

Specific trademark usage guidelines

  1. Logos. You may not use any FET logos (including buttons and graphic symbols) without a trademark license from FET. All usage of trademark logos shall be pursuant to these guidelines and any other guidelines associated with that logo. You can find FET's logos at http://www.fetinc.org/
     
  2. Merchandise items. You may not manufacture, sell, or give away merchandise items, such as T-shirts and mugs, bearing FET trademarks or logos, except pursuant to an express written trademark license from FET.
     
  3. Slogans and taglines. You may not use or imitate a FET slogan or tagline.
