COPYRIGHT STATEMENTS
Each name, term or mark that is a registered trademark must include the applicable mark and copyright statement when it is used.
Example:
"_____ is a trademark or a registered trademark of RealNetworks, Inc."
There is no "boilerplate" footnote. The blank space should be a list of all RealNetworks Marks and RealNetworks logos that appear in that particular piece. If all RealNetworks Marks and RealNetworks logos are registered trademarks, then the footnote should indicate as such. Footnotes should always be complete sentences, and ordinarily appear on the copyright page, on the last page of the material, or on packaging.
Example:
®2003 RealNetworks, Inc. Patents Pending. All rights reserved. RealNetworks, Real, the Real logo, RealPlayer, and the RealPlayer logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of RealNetworks, Inc.
PRODUCT PACKAGING
Special attention should be devoted to the correct use of Real brands and logos on product packaging. Any Real brand that is displayed on packaging should be attributed with the appropriate trademark symbol (refer to the Real Trademarks Chart) the first time it appears on each side of the package. Any Real logo that is displayed on packaging should be attributed with the appropriate trademark symbol each time it appears on the package. A copyright statement, which is most commonly combined with copyright and patent information, should reference each Real brand and logo that appears on the packaging. Ordinarily, this footnote appears on the back of the packaging.
POWER POINT & OTHER PRESENTATIONS
Real Brands and logos, should always be attributed with the proper symbol and footnoted on all presentations that are displayed to the public (sales, trade shows etc). If a presentation is used internally, Real brands and logos should be attributed but need not be footnoted.
