<h3><a name="B._Proper_Trademark_Use."></a>B. Proper Trademark Use.</h3>
        
<p>Always use Silverpeas Marks as proper adjectives. A trademark is an
          adjective and must not be used as a verb or noun or in the possessive
          or plural forms.
        </p>
        
<p>Examples of Proper Use: Silverpeas software, Silverpeas application,
          Silverpeas database server, Silverpeas database management system,
          Silverpeas code, Silverpeas source code, Silverpeas training,
          Silverpeas support, Silverpeas services, Silverpeas partner.
        </p>
        
<p>
          Do not alter Silverpeas Marks. When using a SilverpeasMark, never vary
          the spelling, add hyphens, make one word two, or use a possessive or
          plural form of the SilverpeasMark. Do not abbreviate a Silverpeas Mark
          to create an acronym.
        </p>

        
<p>When using a Silverpeas logo, you must never modify the design, add
          or delete any words, or change any colors or proportions. The logo may
          be scaled proportionally. The logo may in its entirety be displayed in
          black on white background OR in white on dark - black or one-coloured -
          background. The typesize of the trademark notice symbol may be
          adjusted.
        </p>

        
<p>The Silverpeas Logo must be used as a stand-alone icon in accordance
          with this Trademark Policy, without any other third party logos and/or
          trademarks combined or associated with it. At least a margin
          corresponding to the height of the &quot;W&quot; in the logo should be left empty
          around the logo in the background color of the displayed logo. No
          additional text or graphics may be placed in the margin except trademark
          symbols and the words of logo versions specifically designed by
          Silverpeas.
        </p>

        
<p>Any SilverpeasLogo shall only be used in conjunction with Silverpeas
          products and services, except as specifically agreed in writing by
          Silverpeas or in Section 1(A) above.
        </p>

      <section>
<h3><a name="C._Provide_Trademark_Notice_Symbols."></a>C. Provide Trademark Notice Symbols.</h3>
        
<p>When using any Silverpeas Mark, you should use the TM symbol. This
          symbol provides notice to third parties of Silverpeas rights in its
          Marks.
          Silverpeas word marks must bear the trademark notice symbol TM in
          the first and most prominent usage of a mark and again in the first
          appearance of a word mark in the text or body of copy. Notice symbols
          must always appear with all Silverpeas Logos. Wherever possible,
          trademark notice symbols should be superscripted immediately after all
          Silverpeas. Marks. Once proper trademark notice symbols are used, and a
          Silverpeas Mark is correctly attributed to Silverpeas.(as further
          explained below), in permitted materials, it is not ordinarily necessary
          to mark subsequent appearances of the trademark in the same text.
        </p>

<h3><a name="A._What_is_a_trademark.3F"></a>A. What is a trademark?</h3>
        
<p>A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination of
          those things, that distinguishes one company's products and services
          from the products and services of another. Thus, although a trademark
          is a symbol of the source of a product or service, a trademark is not
          the good or service itself. For example, Silverpeas brands its content
          management product and its other products and services using the
          Silverpeas trademark and the other trademarks, service marks, trade
          names, and logos identified in Section 3(A) of this Trademark Policy
          (collectively, the &quot;Silverpeas Marks&quot; or &quot;Marks&quot;).
        </p>

        
<p>A service mark is simply a trademark that identifies the source of a
          service. A logo is a trademark that incorporates a design of some sort,
          such as the Silverpeas Mark that includes the &quot;turbine&quot; design. A
          trademark is not the same as a copyright or a patent.

<h3><a name="B._Trademarks_and_the_Silverpeas_Public_License_License."></a>B. Trademarks and the Silverpeas Public License License.</h3>
        
<p>The Silverpeas Public License is one of the ways by which Silverpeas
          distributes Silverpeas product. TheSilverpeasPublic License permits
          third parties to use and redistribute the underlying software under
          certain circumstances. Such use and/or redistribution of
          Silverpeassoftware products are much welcomed by Silverpeas, but should
          be distinguished from the use of the Silverpeas Marks. The Silverpeas
          Public License does not provide any license or right to use any
          SilverpeasMark in any form or media. Thus, although a Silverpeas Public
          License licensee may redistribute the underlying software, a
          Silverpeas Public License licensee may not use any Silverpeas Mark in
          doing so without the express prior written permission of Silverpeas.
          Otherwise, users could be misled into thinking that
          revisions made by a Silverpeas Public License licensee were created or
          endorsed by Silverpeas, or that those revisions met the quality control
          standards of Silverpeas.
