These guidelines are for MFT licensees, authorized resellers, developers, customers, and other parties wishing to use MFT’s trademarks, service marks or images in promotional, advertising, instructional, or reference materials, or on their web sites, products, labels, or packaging. Use of the “MFT” Logo for commercial purposes without the prior written consent of MFT may constitute trademark infringement and unfair competition in violation of federal and state laws. Use of MFT trademarks may be prohibited, unless expressly authorized.

If you are a licensee of an MFT trademark or logo and have been provided with special trademark usage guidelines with your license agreement, please follow those guidelines. If your license agreement does not provide usage guidelines, then follow these guidelines. If you are an MFT Authorized Reseller or member of an MFT program, you may be subject to additional restrictions.

MFT’s trademarks, service marks, trade names, and trade dress are valuable assets. In following these guidelines, you help us protect our valuable trademark rights and strengthen our corporate and brand identities. By using an MFT trademark, in whole or in part, you are acknowledging that MFT is the sole owner of the trademark and promising that you will not interfere with MFT’s rights in the trademark, including challenging MFT’s use, registration of, or application to register such trademark, alone or in combination with other words, anywhere in the world, and that you will not harm, misuse, or bring into disrepute any MFT trademark. The goodwill derived from using any part of an MFT trademark exclusively inures to the benefit of and belongs to MFT. Except for the limited right to use as expressly permitted under these Guidelines, no other rights of any kind are granted hereunder, by implication or otherwise. If you have any questions regarding these guidelines, please talk to your MFT representative or submit your query to MFT’s Trademark Department.
