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.

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 registered trademarks (as indicated in the Trademark List) should include the “®” symbol immediately after the first and/or most prominent usage (e.g., “Turbot® allows you to query, visualize and alert on metrics…”). 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. We are not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Turbot or its affiliates.”
  • Use the Turbot Marks only as adjectives followed by a generic name/noun (not as a verb or noun).

The Turbot Marks “Don’ts”

  • Do not alter the Turbot Marks, including modifying any logo or design, adding or deleting any words, or changing any color or proportions. You may, however, scale the size of a Turbot Logo, if necessary, so long as its subsequent use is consistent with the preservation of the goodwill and value of the mark and in accordance with the terms of this Trademark Usage Policy.
  • Do not use the Turbot Marks in the plural or possessive form.
  • Do not use variations, foreign language equivalents or abbreviations of the Turbot Text Marks for any purpose.
  • Do not use the Turbot Marks in a manner that would disparage Turbot, its community or its technology or would damage the brand identity, including in a manner that in Turbot’s opinion is offensive, defamatory, illegal or unethical.
  • Do not use the Turbot Marks in a manner that is more prominent than your own company, product or service name.
  • Do not use the Turbot Marks as part of your product or service name, or incorporate them into your company’s logos or designs.
  • Do not incorporate the Turbot Marks into the name or logo of your website, domain name, Internet keywords, social media accounts, metatags, or trigger words to lead to a website or other Internet destination, product, business or service.
  • Do not adopt marks, logos, slogans, or designs that are confusingly similar to the Turbot Marks.
  • Do not use the Turbot Marks in any areas of your website which are password protected.
  • Do not use the Turbot Marks in or on any website, promotion or marketing materials, merchandise items or publications without express written permission from Turbot.

  • Do not use the Turbot Marks in any commercial or marketing context other than as expressly permitted in this policy unless you have obtained explicit written permission from Turbot to do so.
  • Do not use the Turbot Marks in conjunction with derivative software incorporating modified Turbot software product code, or to reference any other goods or services that Turbot did not create or provide.
