SCHEDULE B
TRADEMARK GUIDELINES
“SmartRock® Plus” is a trademark of Giatec Scientific Inc.
TRADEMARK GUIDELINES
I. Conform to Trademark Usage Requirements. When using the trademarks in logotype, always use the trademarks in the form of the specification sheets provided by Giatec Scientific Inc.
II. Use Proper Trademark Notices. In advertising, brochures and other collateral materials, the first time or the most prominent time the trademark appears, it should have a ™ behind it (or the designation ® if the mark is registered in the applicable jurisdiction), and an asterisk that refers to the bottom of the page or brochure, where the following should appear in clear and easily readable type:
* “SmartRock® Plus” and related logos are trademarks of Giatec.”
Use of the ® symbol when the mark is registered in the applicable country is important because it may determine the remedies the mark owner can recover when the mark is infringed. However, the ® symbol should not be used unless the mark is in fact registered in the applicable country. Use of the ® for an unregistered mark is generally forbidden by law and could bar Giatec from obtaining registration of the mark. It could also impair Giatec’s ability to sue infringers of the mark. Accordingly, You must be certain that the mark is registered in the applicable country before using the ® symbol. Giatec will notify You if any Trademark is registered in any country in the Territory.
III. Use as an Adjective. When using the trademarks in text, do not use the trademarks as a noun; always use them as an adjective followed by the generic name of the product. So the correct usage in text would be: SmartRock® Plus Sensors. If the trademark is used in text, it should stand out in the text. The generic designation behind it should be in lower case.
IV. Other Rules.
• Be consistent in the use of the mark and conform to the specifications.
• Always spell the mark correctly if it is a word and reproduce it faithfully and accurately if it is a design or symbol. Avoid any variations. Do not add features or graphic elements.
• Watch for all incidents of improper usage of any Giatec trademarks and report them to Giatec.
