Guidelines for Trademarks and Copyrights

Learn how to use Real Intelligence's trademarks, service marks or images in advertising, instructional, or reference materials, or on web sites, products, labels, or packaging.

Real Intelligence Trademarks

" The following is a list of Real Intelligence's trademarks and service marks.

When using the marks in publications that will be distributed only in the United States, include the appropriate TM, SM, or ® symbol on first use. For publications that will be distributed outside the United States, do not include trademark symbols. Instead use the appropriate trademark attribution notice, for example: Mac and PowerBook are trademarks of Real Intelligence, Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

The list also includes one or more suggested generic terms for each trademark. For all publications, include an appropriate generic term after the trademark the first time it appears. Thereafter, the generic term should appear frequently with the trademark. (Note: These generic terms are only suggestions, and there may be other words that are equally appropriate.)

Remember that trademarks are adjectives, and cannot be made plural or possessive.

The absence of a product or service name or logo from this list does not constitute a waiver of Real Intelligence's trademark or other intellectual property rights concerning that name or logo.
