TRADEMARK USAGE GUIDELINES AND POLICIES FOR LICENSEES

IMPORTANT-PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Cimetrix Incorporated ("Cimetrix") licenses various parties to use its trademarks in connection with the authorized marketing, licensing, and distribution of its software products. Cimetrix's trademarks include Cimetrix®, the Cimetrix logo (), CIMConnect™, TESTConnect™, SECSConnect™, CIM300™, HostConnect™ CIMFoundation™, CIMControlFramework™, CIM87™, CIM90™, CIM40™, CIM94™, CIM116™, CIM157™, CIM148™, CIMPortal™, CIMPortal Plus™, Cimetrix ECCE Plus™, EDAConnect™, CIMStore™, CODE™, CIMulation™, CIMControl™, Cimetrix Sapience™,  Cimetrix EquipmentTest™, Cimetrix Insight™, and others (collectively, the "Marks"). These trademark guidelines and policies apply to all licensed uses of the Marks:

  • The Marks must be used as they appear above or in other Cimetrix-approved publications, matching the upper and lowercase lettering and coloring (if any) of the Marks.
  • Each publication that uses a Mark must identify Cimetrix Incorporated as the owner of the Mark.  Such identification may be placed in a footnote, in a "Legal" section, or in any other reasonable location.

  • The appropriate symbol (®, ™, or SM) should be used with the first or most prominent use of the Mark in marketing materials or other publications, whether in hardcopy or electronic form.  When the materials or publications are lengthy, such as user manuals, the appropriate trademark symbol should be used with the first use of the Mark in each major section of the publication.  When the Mark is used on the surface or packaging of a tangible product, the appropriate symbol should appear with each use.

  • The Marks must be used in text as adjectives followed by the generic product name, not as verbs or nouns, except when "Cimetrix" is used as a trade name to identify Cimetrix Incorporated.  For example:

   Incorrect:  CIMConnect™ is a stand-alone software package used to facilitate the creation of a GEM-compliant SECS interface.

   Correct: CIMConnect™ software is a stand-alone software package used to facilitate the creation of a GEM-compliant SECS interface.

  • The Marks may only be used in connection with the authorized marketing, licensing, and distribution of Cimetrix products and may not be used by any licensee as its trade name or as part of its trade name.

  • The Marks may only be used in connection with the authorized marketing, licensing, and distribution of Cimetrix products and may not be used by any licensee as its trade name or as part of its trade name.

  • Licensees may not use any other trademark or service mark in close proximity to any of the Marks on any tangible product without Cimetrix's prior written consent or affix any Mark to any non-Cimetrix product.

  • A licensee's use of any of the Marks shall not create for the licensee any right, title, or interest, in or to the use of such Marks.  All uses of the Marks by licensees, and the goodwill associated therewith, shall inure to the benefit of and be the exclusive property of Cimetrix.

  • All products or services supplied in connection with the Marks must be of high quality, consistent with the quality of the associated Cimetrix products.  Licensees must cooperate with Cimetrix to facilitate its control and monitoring of the nature and quality of products and services offered in connection with its Marks. 

  • Licensees may not use any of the Marks in any manner that will destroy or detract from the secondary meaning of, and goodwill associated with, the Marks. Licensees may not contest or impair Cimetrix's right, title, or interest in the Marks or take any other action that otherwise dilutes or diminishes their value. 

  • Licensees may not register any of the Marks anywhere in the world, without Cimetrix's written consent. 

  • Cimetrix reserves the right to modify these guidelines and policies in its sole discretion.  If you have any questions about Cimetrix trademark usage, please contact the Cimetrix sales and marketing department.
