Fair use of product names:
"Fair use" of trademarks allows third parties to make reference (text ONLY) to
"IBM, HP, Sun Microsystems, Dell, EMC and Cisco"
(Collectively referred to as "OEMs") product names. The following guidelines are published to ensure proper use and reference to
all product names.
While fair use allows use of or reference to all product names, it is necessary that the usage be truthful, not disparaging to
the OEM's, and does not mislead the public.
You must be clear and accurate as to the nature of the relationship between
SMS and the OEM, its products or services.
Following are two common types of fair use:
Use of IBM product names by third parties is allowed by the OEMs without permission or license when specifically referring to
the OEMs products. Example: IBM WebSphere software is a middleware platform.
Use of OEMs product names by third parties is allowed by the OEMs without permission or license when indicating that an
OEM product is compatible with another product.
Examples: XYZ is compatible with IBM WebSphere software products. XYZ for IBM Lotus Notes.
Please note that the emphasis should be on your product name and any accompanying packaging produced by your
company. Labeling should place emphasis on your product name so that it is perceived as an application, developed with, compatible or running on an
OEMs product).
