February 1, 2005
<p><strong>Purpose: </strong></p>
<p>In addition to the &lsquo;Eclipse&rsquo; trademark, the Eclipse Foundation has introduced four new trademarks and logos: Eclipse Foundation Member, EclipseCon, Built on Eclipse and Eclipse Ready. This document outlines the policy and guidelines of the Eclipse Foundation in regards to these new trademarks and logos.</p>
<p>Our goals in establishing these guidelines are pretty simple:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Eclipse trademarks are a symbol of the quality and community support that people have come to associate with Eclipse. To ensure that the Eclipse trademarks continue to serve these functions, we need to keep some element of control over their use. Along these lines, we want to ensure that the use of our marks not likely to lead to confusion with other marks. By this we mean that people should be able to tell when something is from the Eclipse Foundation. Also, use of our marks should not be in a disparaging manner because we prefer that our marks not be used to be rude about the Eclipse technology, the Eclipse Foundation or its Members. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>We want to encourage our logos to be used in approved ways. So, for example, we want to make it as simple as legally possible for our Members to use the &ldquo;Eclipse Foundation Member&rdquo; mark. If you want to use an Eclipse Foundation logo in a way not explicitly explained in these Guidelines, then ask us by sending an email to <a href="mailto:license@eclipse.org">license@eclipse.org</a>. </li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Proper Usage of &lsquo;Eclipse&rsquo; trademark</strong></p>
<ol>
<li> You may not incorporate the Eclipse trademark into the name of your company or software product name. If you have a software product that works with Eclipse, it is suggested you use terms such as &lsquo;&lt;product name&gt; for Eclipse&rsquo; or &lsquo;&lt;product name&gt;, Eclipse Edition&rsquo;</li>
<li> It is acceptable to include the Eclipse trademark in the name of a publication, domain name or book. However you must ensure that a) the appropriate TM symbol is associated with the Eclipse reference and appropriate attribution as discussed below, b) Eclipse is not concatenated with another word, ex. EclipseBoard, and c) the usage does not imply or make the user believe that the publication, domain name or book is supported or authorized by the Eclipse Foundation.</li>
<li> Eclipse should always be capitalized, except when used as part of the Eclipse logos.</li>
<li> We realize these guidelines are being introduced at a point in time when some companies and individuals already have product names that include the Eclipse trademark. Companies and individuals using the Eclipse trademark as of February 1, 2005 will not be required to change their already existing product names to comply with these guidelines now or in the future. However, we do request that these companies and individuals give proper notice and attribution of the Eclipse trademark and that any new product name will follow these guidelines.</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Proper Usage of Eclipse Foundation Member Logo</strong></p>
<p>The Eclipse Foundation Member logo is to identify those organizations and individuals that are official members of the Eclipse Foundation, including 1) Strategic Members, 2) Add-in Provider, 3) Associate, and 4) Committer Members. Only official members of the Eclipse Foundation are authorized to use this logo. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Proper Usage of &quot;Built on Eclipse&quot; Trademark and Logo</strong></p>
<p>The &quot;Built on Eclipse&quot; trademark is used to identify a product
that includes the core Eclipse Platform, specifically the runtime, SWT,
JFace, and Generic Workbench components. This type of product is able
to run standalone with no prerequisites of other Eclipse components.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Proper Usage of &quot;Eclipse Ready&quot; Trademark and Logo</strong></p>
<p>The &quot;Eclipse Ready&quot; trademark and logo is used to identify a product that is packaged as an Eclipse feature or plug-in and must be added to an Eclipse platform product. This type of product does not run standalone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>General Usage of Logos</strong></p>
<ol>
<li> Derivative works of the EclipseCon, Eclipse Foundation Member, Built on Eclipse and Eclipse Ready logo are not allowed.</li>
<li> The Eclipse logos and production specification are available from www.eclipse.org. Replication of these logos must follow these specifications.<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp; </p>
<p><strong>Proper Notice and Attribution</strong></p>
<p>The appropriate trademark symbol (i.e. TM) should appear at least with the first use of the Eclipse trademarks and all occurrence of the Eclipse logo. </p>
<p>When you use an Eclipse trademark or logo you should include a statement attributing the trademark to the Eclipse Foundation, Inc. For example, &lsquo;Eclipse, Built on Eclipse and Eclipse Ready are trademarks of Eclipse Foundation, Inc.&rsquo;</p>
