Trademark Policy

Permission is Required to Use Our Trademarks

LawyerDoneDeal Corp.’s (“LDD’s”) trademarks may only be used with LDD’s written permission, and then only to the extent of and within the scope of the permission granted. Any use of an LDD trademark that does not comply with such permission and this policy is not authorized. We require permission because LDD provides services to lawyers, mortgage providers, builders, developers, banks, insurance companies and others, all of which operate in an environment of high trust and accountability. Therefore we must protect both that trust in the LDD name and the viability of the LDD platform for all that rely on it. We also believe that it is important to avoid confusion that can arise when the LDD name and trademarks are used so as to create the false impression of an LDD connection or endorsement.

Authorized Use of LDD Trademarks

  1. Advertising, Promotional, and Sales Materials: Only LDD and its authorized licensees may use the LDD Logo in advertising, promotional, and sales materials. Such authorized parties may use the LDD Logo only as specified in their agreement with LDD and any associated guidelines and such use must always be in conjunction with the appropriate terms that define the relationship authorized by their contract with LDD. For example:

    • Authorized Reseller

    • Authorized Service Provider

  2. Compatibility: An authorized user may use ‘lawyerdonedeal’ or any other LDD word mark (but not the LDD Logo or other LDD-owned graphic symbol/logo) in a referential phrase on promotional/advertising materials to describe that the third party service is compatible with the referenced LDD technology, provided they comply with the following requirements.

    a. The LDD word mark is not part of the name of the user’s service.
    b. The LDD word mark is used in a referential phrase such as “runs on,” “for use with,” “for,” or “compatible with.”
    c. The LDD word mark appears less prominent than the name of the user’s service.
    d. The service is in fact compatible with, or otherwise works with, the referenced LDD technology.
    e. The reference to LDD does not create a sense of endorsement, sponsorship, or false association with LDD or LDD technology or services.
    f. The use does not show LDD or its technology or services in a false or derogatory light.

  3. Publications, Seminars, and Conferences: You may use an LDD word mark in connection with book titles, magazines, periodicals, seminars, or conferences provided you comply with the following requirements:

    b. The use reflects favorably on both LDD and LDD services or technology.
    c. Your name and logo appear more prominent than the LDD word mark on all printed materials related to the publication, seminar or conference.

    f. A trademark attribution notice is included in the credit section giving notice of LDD’s ownership of its trademark(s). Please refer to the section below titled “Proper Trademark Notice and Attribution.”

  4. Web Sites: Web sites that serve only as non-commercial electronic informational forums concerning an LDD service or technology may use the appropriate LDD word mark, provided such use complies with the guidelines set forth in Section 3 above.

Unauthorized Use of LDD Trademarks

  1. Company, Product, or Service Name: You may not use or register, in whole or in part, LDD, LawyerDoneDeal or any other LDD trademark, including LDD-owned graphic symbols, logos, icons, or an alteration thereof, as or as part of a company name, trade name, product name, or service name.

  2. LDD Logo and LDD-owned Graphic Symbols: You may not use the LDD Logo or any other LDD-owned graphic symbol, logo, or icon on or in connection with web sites, products, packaging, manuals, promotional/advertising materials, or for any other purpose except pursuant to an express written trademark license from LDD, such as a reseller agreement or a service provider agreement.

  3. Variations, Takeoffs or Abbreviations: You may not use an image of a real LDD or other variation of the LDD logo for any purpose. Third parties cannot use a variation, phonetic equivalent, foreign language equivalent, takeoff, or abbreviation of an LDD trademark for any purpose.

  4. Disparaging Manner: You may not use an LDD trademark or any other LDD-owned graphic symbol, logo, or icon in a disparaging manner.

  5. Endorsement or Sponsorship: You may not use any LDD trademark, including LDD-owned graphic symbols/logos, or icons, in a manner that would imply LDD’s affiliation with or endorsement, sponsorship, or support of a third party product or service.

Rules for Proper Use of LDD Trademarks

  1. Trademarks are adjectives used to modify nouns; the noun is the generic name of a product or service.

  2. As adjectives, trademarks may not be used in the plural or possessive form.

  3. Always spell and capitalize LDD’s trademarks exactly as they are shown in the LDD Trademark List. Do not shorten or abbreviate LDD service or technology names. Do not make up names that contain LDD trademarks.

Proper Trademark Notice and Attribution

  1. Distribution
    a. On communications that will be distributed in relation to LDD services or technology, use the appropriate trademark symbol (TM, SM, ®) the first time the LDD trademark appears in the text of the advertisement, brochure, or other material.
    b. Refer to the LDD Trademark List for the correct trademark symbol, spelling of the trademark, and generic term to use with the trademark. Generally, the symbol appears at the right shoulder of the trademark.
    c. Include an attribution of LDD’s ownership of its trademarks within the credit notice section of your product, product documentation, or other product communication.

    Following are the correct formats:
    _________ and _______ are trademarks of LawyerDoneDeal Corp.

  2. Endorsement or Sponsorship: LDD does not support the use of its logos, company name, service or technology names by other parties in marketing, promotional or advertising materials as their use may create the perception that LDD endorses or sponsors the product, service or promotion.
