Gnosis Freight’s trademarks and service marks, logos, and brands (“Trademarks”) are Gnosis Freight’s intellectual property and are among our most valuable assets. In order to preserve and protect these Trademarks, it is essential that they are used properly. Follow these Guidelines and our Brand Guidelines for using Gnosis Freight’s Trademarks properly in all communications, documents, and electronic messages.
Third-party use of the Gnosis Freight Trademarks requires a license or written permission from Gnosis Freight. If you are interested in obtaining a license to use a Gnosis Freight Trademark, contact us to discuss your proposed use.
These Guidelines apply to Gnosis Freight employees as well as to customers, partners, and other third parties that Gnosis Freight has licensed or otherwise granted written permission to use a Gnosis Freight Trademark (each, a “Licensee”). If you are a Licensee of a Gnosis Freight Trademark, your license agreement may have particular usage guidelines different than provided here. If so, please follow the specific guidelines in your agreement. If you are a Licensee but have not been provided with specific guidelines for usage of the Gnosis Freight Trademarks, then these Guidelines apply to your usage of the Gnosis Freight Trademarks.
You may reference Gnosis Freight’s products and services using the Gnosis Freight Trademarks, so long as such references are: (1) truthful, fair, and not misleading, and (2) comply with these Guidelines, which may be modified from time to time by Gnosis Freight in its sole discretion. The Gnosis Freight Trademarks should never be used in a way that could cause anyone wrongly to believe that your products or services are offered, endorsed, or sponsored by Gnosis Freight or any of its subsidiaries.
Include an attribution to Gnosis Freight as the owner of the Trademark in the following format: “[list the Trademarks used] is a trade- and/or service mark of Gnosis Companies, Inc.” If you are a Licensee of a Gnosis Freight Trademark, add “Used under license.”
Use the Gnosis Freight Trademarks only as proper adjectives. Whenever possible the Trademark should be followed by the common descriptive name (noun) of the product or service it modifies (e.g., “the Container Lifecycle Management® platform”).
Gnosis Freight’s Trademarks should not be used as verbs or nouns or in plural or possessive form.
Do not use Trademarks as a mere description of the nature of the product or service or as an identification of a product/service type or product/service category as a whole. Trademarks must be used to identify Gnosis Freight as the single source of a product or service.
When Gnosis Freight is used to refer to our company, Gnosis Companies, Inc., rather than as a brand of product or services, then the rules for proper usage change slightly. Unlike trademarks, company names are proper nouns; they can be used in the possessive form and do not need to be followed by a generic term. Neither the ™ or SM nor the ® symbol should accompany reference to Gnosis Freight as a company.
When using our Trademarks that comprise only a word (i.e., no logo or stylized font), you may not change their appearance by abbreviating them, incorporating them into acronyms, changing their spelling, using them in parts, or using improper capitalization.
When using our Trademarks that include a logo or stylized font (“Logo”):
