Guidelines for Using Sony Creative Software, Inc. Trademarks
The following are general guidelines for the use of Sony Creative Software, Inc. ("Sony Creative Software") trademarks. You may not use Sony Creative Software Trademarks under any circumstance without the prior written approval of Sony Creative Software. If you are a party to an agreement with Sony Creative Software, please consult the terms and conditions of such agreement as it may contain special provisions regarding your use of Sony Creative Software trademarks.
For a complete listing of Sony Creative Software trademarks and registered trademarks, please consult the Sony Creative Software Trademark List, attached.
A trademark that has been registered with a trademark office in the applicable jurisdiction is noted with a ®. A trademark that has not been registered with a trademark office is noted with a ™. Sony Creative Software requests that when you refer to our trademarks and registered trademarks you refer to them properly. Proper reference includes the use of the appropriate ™ and ® symbol at the first and most prominent reference in body copy or as soon as practicable thereafter for each section of a document in which such marks appear. Therefore, if you are printing a brochure that makes reference to a Sony Creative Software, you need only make reference to the trademark designation(s) once. However, if you are preparing a multi-chapter book, please add the appropriate designations to the Sony Creative Software Trademarks in each chapter in which the Sony Creative Software Trademarks may appear.
It is not necessary to include ™ or ® symbols in tables of contents and indices.
If the character set of your project lacks special symbols and superscript characters, use the following substitute trademark notices. Note the capitalization and spacing.
(R) instead of ®, as in "Sound Forge(R) software application"(TM) instead of ™, as in "Cinescore(TM) software"
