Trademark Policy

Turbot HQ, Inc (“Turbot”) is the owner of numerous trademarks, including those identified in the non-exhaustive Trademark List included herein, its marks appearing in standard characters (the “Turbot Text Mark(s)”), as well as its specialized logos, logotypes and design marks (the “Turbot Logo(s)”) (all of which are collectively referred to herein as the “Turbot Marks”). An illustrative, non-exhaustive list of the Turbot Marks that are registered trademarks, pending registrations and common law trademarks in use can be found at Trademark List herein.

Your right to use the Turbot Marks is conditioned upon your compliance with this Trademark Usage Policy. The Turbot Marks may be used for the purposes of open source discussion, development and support of Turbot’ open source projects, subject to the terms of this Trademark Usage Policy. Any other use of the Turbot Marks requires a separate trademark license agreement with Turbot. To inquire about a trademark license, please see below for contact information.

Any use of or reference to the Turbot Marks that is inconsistent with this Trademark Usage Policy is strictly prohibited, and is considered a material breach of the terms of the applicable open source licenses, which may result in, without limitation to other available remedies, immediate termination of your rights and licenses under the terms of such open source licenses.

When You Can and Cannot Use Turbot Marks

If you redistribute an exact copy of our software, in exactly the form we provide it, under an open source license, you must retain the logos. You must not claim that you are the source or origin of the software. Your marketing materials should include the legend “The Turbot Marks are trademarks of Turbot HQ, Inc, and are used with Turbot’ permission. We are not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Turbot or its affiliates.”

If you redistribute a modification of our software that we provide under an open source license, you must NOT retain the logos. You must not claim that you are the source or origin of the software. You may state that your software is based on the Turbot software, but you must not use our logo.

If you provide any online service using our software, you must not retain the logos. We consider the quality of operation of a hosted service to be essential, and so, using our logos would imply that we are the source for the service. You may state that your service is based on the Turbot software, but you must not use our logo.

The Turbot Marks “Do’s”

  • Use the Turbot Text Marks in a form that distinguishes them from surrounding text, such as by capitalization, bold or italic fonts, or with quotation marks.

Any use of unregistered trademarks should include a “TM” immediately after in all instances. These trademark notices should not be altered. Do not use the “®” symbol in countries where the Turbot Marks have not been registered. Trademark rights vary from country to country.
  • You must include the following attribution statement prominently in all materials using the Turbot Marks, including but not limited to websites, publications, splash screens, screenshots or in documentation: “The Turbot Marks are trademarks of Turbot HQ, Inc, and are used with Turbot’ permission.
