Recursive Dynamics Trademark Usage Policy


 

Recursive Dynamics, LLC owns and oversees the trademarks and Copyrights for all our products/services names and logos. We have developed this trademark usage policy with the following goals in mind:


 

1. We'd like to make it easy for anyone to use the Recursive Dynamics name or logo for community-oriented efforts that help spread and improve Recursive Dynamics.


 

2. We'd like to make it clear how Recursive Dynamics-related businesses and projects can (and cannot) use the Recursive Dynamics name and logo.


 

3. We'd like to make it hard for anyone to use the Recursive Dynamics name and logo to unfairly profit from, trick or confuse people who are looking for official Recursive Dynamics resources.


 

 

Permission from Recursive Dynamics is required to use the Recursive Dynamics name or logo as part of any project, product, service, domain name, or company name.


 

We are more likely to grant permission to use the Recursive Dynamics name and/or logo for projects that meet the following criteria:


 

1. The primary purpose of your project is to promote the spread and improvement of the Recursive Dynamics brand.


 

2. Your project is non-commercial in nature (it can make money to cover its costs or contribute to non-profit entities, but it cannot be run as a for-profit project or business).


 

3 Your project neither promotes nor is associated with entities that Recursive Dynamics does not actively and currently support through public and official relations.


 

If your project meets these criteria, you may be permitted to use the Recursive Dynamics name and logo to promote your project.


 

Use of the Recursive Dynamics name and logo is additionally allowed in the following situations:


 

1. You are using the name or logo to show the origin of your item, or to show that your project or activity includes parts manufactured by Recursive Dynamics.


 

2. You are using a graphic provided by Recursive Dynamics to promote an event, discount, product or the fact that you are interested in these offerings by Recursive Dynamics.


 

All other Recursive Dynamics-related businesses or projects can use the Recursive Dynamics name and logo to refer to and explain their services, but they cannot use them as part of a product, project, service, domain name, or company name and they cannot use them in any way that suggests an affiliation with or endorsement by Recursive Dynamics.


 

For example, a consulting company can describe its business as "123 Web Services, offering Recursive Dynamics consulting for small businesses,” but cannot call its business "The Recursive Dynamics Consulting Company.”


 

Similarly, it's OK to use various Recursive Dynamics company or product logos as part of a page that describes your products or services, but it is not OK to use them as part of your company or product logo or branding itself.


 

Under no circumstances is it permitted to use Recursive Dynamics as part of a domain name or top-level domain name.


 

We do not allow the use of the trademark in advertising, including AdSense/AdWords.


 

Please note that it is not the goal of this policy to limit commercial activity around Recursive Dynamics. We encourage the purchase of our products for resale. More information on this can be found on our Resellers page.


 

The abbreviation "RD” is not covered by Recursive Dynamics trademarks and you are free to use it in any way you see fit.


 

When in doubt about your use of the Recursive Dynamics name or logo, please contact Recursive Dynamics for clarification.
