Fair use guidelines

Refinitiv takes great care in the development and protection of its trademarks and reserves all rights of ownership of its trademarks. “Fair use” of Refinitiv trademarks, that is, use by a third party without express permission or license, is limited to text-only references to Refinitiv trademarks such as product and service names, and excludes Refinitiv logos. In such references, you must be truthful, must not disparage Refinitiv, and must not mislead the public. You must be clear and accurate as to the nature of the relationship between Refinitiv and your company, its products, and its services. You may not use Refinitiv trademarks in a manner which could cause confusion as to Refinitiv sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement.

Except as stated above, Refinitiv trademarks may not be used by third parties without express permission.

To obtain permission, please contact us.

General usage

Proper use of Refinitiv trademarks reinforces their role as brands for our products and services, and helps prevent them from becoming generic names that can be used by anyone. Examples of former trademarks that became generic terms are “aspirin”, “cellophane”, and “escalator”. By adhering to the following rules, you help protect Refinitiv investment in its trademarks:

• When a Refinitiv product is mentioned in communications, ownership by Refinitiv must be attributed in a footnote either on the page/screen where the Refinitiv trademark is used, or in the legal section of the communication or site in which it is referenced. For example, WORLD-CHECK is a registered trademark of Refinitiv or its affiliates.
• Until further guidance is provided, Refinitiv product names should include the trademark symbol (i.e., ® or ™) after the product name and then should be followed by “from Refinitiv”. For example WORLD-CHECK® from Refinitiv.
• The proper symbol for registered product names is ®.
• The proper symbol for product names which are the subject of pending applications or are used in accordance with common law trademark principles is ™.
• Do not create any new logo for Refinitiv or Refinitiv product names.
• Do not incorporate any Refinitiv product names into your company’s product names.
• Do not incorporate any Refinitiv names into any internet root domains or subdomains owned by your company.
• Do not use the Refinitiv taglines.
• Do not connect your company name with Refinitiv product names.
• Alterations of the approved Refinitiv trademark are not allowed, for example:
  • Do not change the form or representation of the product name, including misspelling, capitalization or punctuation.
  • Do not use the Refinitiv trademark name for a product or service as a noun or verb, in the possessive form (for example, Refinitiv’ or Refinitiv Eikon’s) or in the plural form unless the trademark itself appears in that form.

Domain Names

Do not use Refinitiv trademarks or potentially confusing variations in your internet domain name. This helps prevent internet users from being confused as to whether you or Refinitiv is the source of the website.

Open Source Software

Most open source licenses do not grant, and many exclude, a license of trademark rights. Do not assume you can use the name of a source code base in the name of your distribution developed from that code base. Without a license or permission, you may not incorporate Refinitiv trademarks in the name of your distribution or other products that incorporate open source elements. Truthful statements incorporating a trademark are generally allowed (for example, in the format “MyImplementation, derived from Trademarked ProductName”), but you should check the terms of the license for the original source code or any posted trademark guidelines for the project.

Logos

List of trademarks

Below is a current listing of United States trademarks owned by Refinitiv and might also be trademarks or registered trademarks in other countries. Please note that laws concerning use and marking of trademarks or product names vary by country. Always consult a local attorney for additional guidance.

Those trademarks followed by ® are registered trademarks of Refinitiv in the United States; those followed by ™ are trademarks or common law marks of Refinitiv in the United States.

To the extent a name or logo does not appear on the list does not constitute a waiver of any and all intellectual property rights that Refinitiv or its affiliates has established in any of its trademarks and logos.
