Trademark Basics
A trademark is a word, name, symbol or device (or a combination thereof) thatidentifies the goods or services of a person or company and distinguishes them from the goods and services of others. A trademark assures consumers of consistent quality with respect to those goods or services and aids in their promotion.
Rights to a trademark can last indefinitely if the owner continues to use the mark to identify its goods and services. If trademarks are not used properly, they may be lost and one of the company's most important assets may lose all of its value. Rights may be lost not only because of a trademark owner's improper use of the mark, but through improper use of the trademark by the public.
These Guidelines apply to SVS employees, customers, dealers, licensees, consultants, outside vendors, and other third parties. If you are an authorized user of a SVS trademark or logo, then follow these.
Follow these Guidelines for using SVS and others' trademarks and logos properly ininternal and external communications, documents, electronic messages and websites .You may refer to SVS products and services by their associated SVS trademarks, so long as such references (a) are truthful, fair, and not misleading, and (b) comply with these Guidelines, which may be modified by SVS from time to time in the sole discretion of SVS.
- Use the appropriate trademark symbol and trademark acknowledgment of SVS ownership of the marks and/or logos in question.
- Do not replace SVS trademarks or brand names and replace with your own names from any official SVS documents like catalogs, brochures, purchase orders, photographs, etc.
- Do not make unlicensed use of SVS licensed logos. Third party use of SVS logos requires a license or written permission from SVS. If you are interested in obtaining a license to use an SVS mark or logo, contact your SVS marketing or sales representative, or SVS sales office.
- If you are using a SVS trademark, distinguish the trademark from the surrounding text in some way. Capitalize the first letter, capitalize or italicize the entire mark, place the mark in quotes, use a different type style or font for the mark than for the generic name.

- Normally, an unregistered SVS Brand should be followed by the super scripted letters TM to give notice that the company claims trademark rights in the term.
- ALWAYS use trademarks and brand names in the ways they were intended to be used. Do not use them for goods or services for which they were not originally intended. Do not alter them in any way. Do not make puns out of them or portray them in a negative light.
