LeaderTreks Logo Policy

This Policy is intended to provide a general understanding of correct trademark usage. The requirements defined in this document apply to all LEADERTREKS departments, divisions, subsidiaries, and affiliates. They also apply to any individual or entity who has LEADERTREKS's permission to use the LEADERTREKS name or logo or any other trademark owned by LEADERTREKS, including but not limited to resellers, partners, customers, advertising agencies, consultants, professional writers and editors, licensees and other third parties making reference to LEADERTREKS trademarks. This Policy will be modified from time to time as LEADERTREKS deems appropriate.

The LEADERTREKS name and logo have been used worldwide for years. As a result, they have become well known as representing quality goods and services in the telecommunications industry. In addition to extensive common law rights in its trademarks, LEADERTREKS also owns registrations for many of its marks in the U.S. and around the world. The more popular our trademarks become, the greater their value is to us, and the greater is the need for their protection. To preserve and enhance their value, proper use of LEADERTREKS trademarks is essential.

You may use LEADERTREKS marks only if you adhere to the following guidelines for rules of proper trademark use:

Use Complete, Unaltered Marks

The LEADERTREKS name and logo are not only a trademark used to identify our products and services; it also serves as our company name. Do not alter an LEADERTREKS mark in any way; for example, it is not permissible to change the words in a mark, abbreviate marks, or add words or visual elements to a mark (including modified fonts, colors, or capitalization).

Aspect Ratio

The Aspect Ratio of the logo must be maintained at 2:6. The Logo may not be altered in any way, shape, or form.

Licensed User

Licensed Users may use the LEADERTREKS logo in agreed upon terms. The Aspect Ratio of the logo must be maintained at 2:6. The Logo may not be altered in any way, shape, or form.

Acknowledge LEADERTREKS’s Ownership

A footnote or other legend to acknowledge that the mark is owned by LEADERTREKS should be placed at the bottom of any advertisement, or publication in which the mark appears. The legend should identify the marks incorporated into your work that belong to LEADERTREKS. An example of an acceptable legend is: “LEADERTREKS and the LEADERTREKS logo are registered trademarks of LEADERTREKS, NFP. Used under license through 2010.”

Do Not Mislead Consumers Regarding Your Affiliation with LEADERTREKS, NFP.

You must avoid the appearance or implication that LEADERTREKS’s trademarks belong to you or your company, or that any affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, or other relationship exists between your company and LEADERTREKS in the absence of any arrangement of that sort. If such an affiliation does exist, you may state so on the material containing the mark.

Set LEADERTREKS Trademarks Apart from Other Marks

Your name, logo, and/or trademark should appear more prominently than an LEADERTREKS mark when both are displayed on the same page, web page, or other material. A LEADERTREKS trademark should not be displayed in close proximity to marks not owned by LEADERTREKS in a manner that might imply that the two marks are a single mark or somehow related, or that your company owns the LEADERTREKS mark. For example, your company's trademark should not immediately precede the LEADERTREKS mark, or vice versa. No LEADERTREKS marks or any potentially confusing variations of an LEADERTREKS mark should ever be used as part of your company name, trademark, logo or product or service name.

Use LEADERTREKS Marks in Domain Names Prohibited

You may NOT register a domain name that includes any LEADERTREKS mark or name.

Merchandise Items

You may not place LEADERTREKS trademarks on merchandise (such as t-shirts, nousepads, coffee mugs, etc.) that you intend to sell or give away, unless you first obtain written permission from LEADERTREKS. To request written permission, please call LEADERTREKS at (630)668-0936.
