Trademarks
Use that is Not Permitted
prohibited use of Novell Trademarks
Certain uses of Novell marks are not allowed under any circumstances.
In Domain Names:
Novell does not allow third parties to use "Novell," "NetWare," "GroupWise" or any other Novell product name in an Internet domain name.
While Internet sites may use terms such as, "about NetWare®" in the title of their sites, the site title itself should not begin with either, "NetWare," "Novell," or any other Novell product name. These rules apply equally to all licensed users, resellers and distributors of Novell products.
A CNE, CNI, and CNA may indicate their Novell certification in their Web site, but not in the domain name itself.
Combining with the Marks of Another Company:
Do not combine Novell trademarks or product names with those of another company, whether it be your company or any other company. For example:
THIS IS WRONG: Novell Windows 95 applications
THIS IS CORRECT: Novell® applications for Windows 95
In Company Names, Product Names or Names of Services:
You may not include or incorporate any Novell trademark or part of a trademark into your company name or the name of your products or services. For example, you may not include "NetWare®," "GroupWise®," "Novell®" or any potentially confusing variation in the name of your product, company name or service, and this same rule applies to any other Novell trademark.
Let us suppose that you develop a software application compatible with NetWare. You might wish to advertise your product as being created "for NetWare". If you are a licensed distributor or reseller you may advertise that you sell "NetWare® software from Novell®." Never may you call your company or product "ABC's NetWare."
Abbreviations of Novell Product Names or Trademarks:
Never abbreviate or alter Novell trademarks or create acronyms.
For example:
THIS IS WRONG: NW
THIS IS CORRECT: NetWare®
THIS IS WRONG: GW
THIS IS CORRECT: GroupWise®
The rules for proper reference are contained in on the Trademark Guidelines page.
