WORKLINX System Builder Software™ trademarks identify our products so that consumers know they are buying WORKLINX's high-quality products and services. WORKLINX has gained valuable rights by the proper and continuous usage of trademarks to identify its goods and services. If a trademark is used improperly, its value can become diluted or generic. Properly using our trademarks by following these trademark usage guidelines protects and preserves the value of our trademarks and the WORKLINX brand.
What is a trademark?
A trademark is a word, name, symbol, device, design, phrase, sound, or color adopted and used by WORKLINX Ltd. to identify its goods and services and to distinguish them from other goods and services. Trademarks are usually noted with either a ™ , a © or an ® symbol. In New Zealand, a trademark that is noted by a ™ has not been registered with the New Zealand Patent and Trademark Office and a trademark noted with an © has been registered with the New Zealand Patent and Trademark Office. Trademarks, however, may also be registered internationally and each country has different laws regarding the proper notation of trademarks.
Referential trademark usage
You may use a WORKLINX trademark or product name to refer specifically to such WORKLINX product in marketing and promotional materials, books, conferences, applications, demonstrations, and so on. You are permitted to use a WORKLINX trademark referentially provided that:
