Since the Vtiger trademarks are used in these instances only to describe the content of the publication or presentation and are not used as trademarks to promote your own products and services, you should not attempt to establish trademark or other proprietary rights by registering, or attempting to register, the titles as trademarks, service marks, corporate names or trade names.

B. Third Party Marks
Unless expressly authorized by Vtiger in writing, third parties generally may not use any Vtiger trademarks as part of their company names, trademarks or logos.

Furthermore, no third party may claim any right to register, or attempt to register, a trademark in any territory if the trademark in question includes "Vtiger" or is in some other way similar to any Vtiger trademark.

B. Proper Trademark Use
1. Always use Vtiger trademarks 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.
Examples of Proper Use: Vtiger CRM, Vtiger On Demand, Vtiger code, Vtiger source code, Vtiger binaries, Vtiger support, Vtiger services, Vtiger Partner.
Examples of Improper Use: Vtiger's source code, Vtigers
2. Do not alter Vtiger trademarks. When using a Vtiger trademark, never vary the spelling, add hyphens, make one word two, or use a possessive or plural form of the Vtiger trademark. Do not abbreviate a Vtiger trademark to create an acronym.
3. Company, Product or Service Names: Do not use Vtiger trademarks or potentially confusing variations as all or part of your company, product or service names. If you wish to note the relationship of your products or services to Vtiger products or services, please use an appropriate tag line as detailed above. For example, "XYZ for Vtiger CRM" not "VtigerXYZ or XYZ Vtiger"
C. Provide Trademark Notice Symbols
When using any Vtiger trademark, you should use proper trademark notice symbols. A Vtiger trademark that has been registered must bear the ® symbol. All other Vtiger’s pending trademarks must bear the ™ symbol. These symbols provide notice to third parties of Vtiger rights in its trademarks.
D. Statement for Correct Attribution
All Vtiger trademarks that are used by third parties must be attributed to Vtiger Systems with our standard trademark attribution statement. The statement must always be a complete sentence, and ordinarily be placed in a visible place in the material referencing the Vtiger trademarks, e.g., on the copyright page, on the last page of the material, on the bottom of a web page, on a website's trademark policy page, or on product packaging.
4. Miscellaneous
A. Third Party Licensors
Some Vtiger products include technology used under license from third party licensors. You must not use any such third party trademark without express permission from the owner. This Trademark Policy is limited to Vtiger trademarks only and does not apply to marks owned by third parties.
