TRADEMARK USAGE GUIDELINES

Last Updated: April 3, 2006

This is a partial current listing of trademarks owned by Convedia. Failure of a mark to appear on this page does not mean that Convedia does not use the mark nor does it mean that the product is not actively marketed or is not significant within its relevant market.

Those trademarks followed by ® are registered trademarks of Convedia in the United States; all of the marks are trademarks of Convedia registered in Canada or common law marks of Convedia.

Convedia policy regarding its trademarks

Convedia "trademarks" include Convedia products and services, as well as the Convedia logo and other designs owned and used by Convedia.

Convedia takes great care in the development and protection of its trademarks and reserves all rights of ownership of its trademarks. It is Convedia policy to enforce its trademark rights against any parties, with or without permission, who do one or more of the following:

• Use a Convedia trademark in a manner that is likely to confuse the public about the origin of products, services, materials, courses, or programs.
• Use a mark confusingly similar to a Convedia trademark.
  (considering, without limitation, visual, phonetic, and connotations of the marks)
• Use a Convedia trademark in a way that is likely to dilute, defame, disparage, or harm the reputation of Convedia.
• Use or misuse a Convedia trademark, including product names and logos, in any unauthorized manner.
• Fail to comply with the Convedia “Trademark Usage Guidelines” set forth in this website.

Convedia policy regarding its logos

Convedia carefully limits the use of its logos. Business associates with written agreements with Convedia are allowed to use Convedia’s logos based on these trademark usage guidelines. No other party may use Convedia logos unless it has the express written permission of Convedia.

Companies with appropriate permissions or agreements with Convedia can find our logo (in a variety of graphic formats) in the Media Resources area of this website.

Fair use of Convedia product names

"Fair use" of trademarks allows third parties to make reference to Convedia product names. The following guidelines are published to ensure proper use and reference to Convedia product names.

While fair use, under copyright laws, allows use of or reference to Convedia product names, you must ensure that the usage be truthful, not disparaging to Convedia, and not misleading to the public. You must be clear and accurate as to the nature of the relationship between Convedia and your company and its products or services. Convedia’s Trademark Usage Guidelines apply to fair use.

Following are two common types of fair use:

1. Use of Convedia product names by third parties is allowed by Convedia without permission or license when specifically referring to Convedia products.
   
   Example: The Convedia® CMS-1000™ Media Server is an IP Media Server.
   
   
2. Use of Convedia product names by third parties is allowed by Convedia without permission or license when indicating that an Convedia product is compatible with another product or protocol.
   
   Example: The Convedia® CMS-6000™ Media Server is compatible with the SIP protocol.

Please note that the emphasis should be on your product name and any accompanying packaging produced by your company. Labeling should place emphasis on your product name so that it is perceived as an application, developed with, compatible or running on a Convedia product.

General rules for proper reference to Convedia product names and logos

Following are general rules for proper usage of product names and logos:

1. The first use of each Convedia product name or logo mentioned in communications must be identified as a Convedia trademark in a footnote or attribution. The attribution must be located either on the page/screen where the Convedia product name is used, or in the legal section of the communication or site in which it is referenced. Please note that laws concerning use of trademarks or product names vary by country. Always consult a local attorney for additional guidance.
   
   Example: Convedia, CMS-6000, and CMS-1000 are trademarks of Convedia Corporation.
   
   
2. The first reference in text to all Convedia trademarks should be preceded by Convedia and followed by the proper trademark symbol. The proper symbol for United States-registered product names and logos is ®. The proper symbol for product names and logos which are the subject of pending applications or are used in accordance with common law trademark principles is TM.
   
   Example: The Convedia® CMS-6000™ Media Server can handle carrier class IP media packet processing.
   
   
3. A trademark must be used as an adjective qualifying a noun that is a generic description of the product or service. The product name should also be used in a singular form.
   
   Example: Two CMS-6000™ Media Servers will be available…
   Incorrect example: Two CMS-6000s will be available…
   
   
4. Do not change the form or representation of the product name, including capitalization or punctuation.
   
   Incorrect examples: cms-6000, CMS 6000
