| <h1 id="obvious">Are Apache® project names and logos trademarks?<a class="headerlink" href="#obvious" title="Permalink">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>Yes, the names of all Apache® projects, software products, and their logos are trademarks |
| that the Apache Software Foundation owns on behalf of our project communities. Note that |
| while some Apache project names and logos are registered in the US and various countries, even unregistered names and logos |
| are still trademarks of the ASF and should be treated with respect.</p> |
| <h1 id="guide">How should I refer to Apache software product names?<a class="headerlink" href="#guide" title="Permalink">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>Apache project names have the form "Apache <em>Projectname</em>", for |
| example Apache Hadoop® and Apache OpenOffice®. Read our |
| <a href="/foundation/marks/guide">detailed guide for referring to Apache project and product names</a>. |
| Using the full "Apache <em>Projectname</em>" helps ensure that our volunteer |
| project communities get the credit they deserve.</p> |
| <h1 id="attribution">How should I provide attributions of Apache marks?<a class="headerlink" href="#attribution" title="Permalink">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>To properly attribute Apache marks, and to ensure that the volunteer |
| communities that build Apache software get the credit they deserve, |
| place prominent trademark attributions wherever you use Apache marks. On websites, add hyperlinks to the relevant |
| project homepage and to the ASF. For example, to |
| provide an attribution for Apache Hadoop and its yellow elephant logo |
| (using basic HTML with hyperlinks):</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p>Apache®, <a href="http://hadoop.apache.org/">Apache Hadoop, Hadoop®</a>, |
| and the yellow elephant logo are either registered trademarks or trademarks |
| of the <a href="/">Apache Software Foundation</a> |
| in the United States and/or other countries.</p> |
| </blockquote> |
| <p>In text, use Apache Lucene® in the first and most prominent uses because it is a registered trademark; |
| some other Apache project names like Apache Zookeeper™ are unregistered |
| but are still considered trademarks of the ASF.</p> |
| <p>Here is a complete <a href="https://whimsy.apache.org/brand/list">list of trademarks claimed by the ASF</a>.</p> |
| <h1 id="booktitle">May I use Apache marks in the title or cover of published books?<a class="headerlink" href="#booktitle" title="Permalink">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>In general, yes, as long as you comply with the rest of Apache trademark |
| policies, in particular in regard to not claiming association or endorsement |
| of/for/by the ASF. For more details or for explicit permissions, <a href="/foundation/marks/contact">contact us</a>.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>The ASF generally requires that you refer to Apache products using the |
| full "Apache Tomcat®" form of its name, especially in prominent places like |
| book titles. However, we do understand that some publishing houses may |
| have specific standards for book titles that prevent this for |
| traditionally printed and bound books. In that case, and only for traditionally |
| printed and bound books, |
| using the bare product name as "Tomcat®" is acceptable as long as there is |
| clear attribution of both forms of the name.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>You must include a trademark attribution on the obverse title page or |
| wherever you acknowledge other trademarks and copyrights. A |
| preferred attribution would be:</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p>Apache®, Apache Tomcat, Tomcat®, |
| and the cat logo are either registered trademarks or trademarks |
| of the <a href="/">Apache Software Foundation</a> |
| in the United States and/or other countries. No endorsement by |
| The Apache Software Foundation is implied by the use of these marks.</p> |
| </blockquote> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>You may not use the title or presentation of the book's cover, front matter, or other |
| contents to imply association with, endorsement of/by, or |
| any other exclusive or special connection with the ASF or the project's |
| community or product.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>We do not require the payment of a royalty for the use of Apache marks or other IP in |
| regularly published books. We certainly do appreciate royalty donations, |
| and a number of publishers have set up systems to donate royalties from their |
| books back to the ASF. You can read more about <a href="/foundation/contributing.html">Donating to the |
| ASF</a>.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <h1 id="integrateswith">May I display Apache product logos on my website or marketing materials for ASF software products that my organization's software integrates with or supports?<a class="headerlink" href="#integrateswith" title="Permalink">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>Yes, as long as you follow the rest of our <a href="/foundation/marks/">formal Trademark |
| Policy</a>. Note that you may <a href="#products">not use |
| Apache product word marks</a> as part of any software product name. |
| In particular, you must ensure that you follow our <a href="/foundation/marks/guide">Apache name usage guide</a> and:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>Use the unmodified ASF product logo made available for this purpose on |
| the Apache website or on the ASF project's homepage. If you do not find the |
| ASF product logo you want in that collection, ask the ASF project team to |
| add it there.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>If you describe the ASF product or project in text, use the "Apache Flink®" |
| form of its name.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Do not visually combine the ASF product logo with any other images, and |
| do not change the appearance of ASF product logos except in cases where |
| it is <strong>required</strong> by a specific printing restriction (e.g. printing on paper in black and white).</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>On your website link any Apache project logo to the homepage for that Apache project on |
| the apache.org website.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Include a trademark attribution to Apache Software Foundation in an |
| appropriate place on every page where you identify your own trademarks.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Ensure that your website and marketing materials do not imply ASF |
| endorsement or the affiliation of your products, services, or organization |
| with ASF.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Ensure that your website and marketing materials do not confuse the |
| average user about the source of ASF products or imply that ASF is |
| associated with your products or services in any way.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>See also the <a href="/foundation/press/kit/">Powered By Apache logo</a> program.</p> |
| <h1 id="products">May I use Apache marks (names, logos) in software product names?<a class="headerlink" href="#products" title="Permalink">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>No, you may <strong>not</strong> use Apache trademarks - the names of any project or software product releases from the ASF - |
| in the primary or secondary branding of |
| any third party product or service names. For example, you may <strong>not</strong> name a product either "BigCo <em>Project</em> Thing", "BigCo distribution of <em>Project</em>", |
| or any similar kind of name where <em>Project</em> is any Apache mark or project name.</p> |
| <p>The primary mission of the ASF is to provide free software for the public |
| good under our Apache License. Consumer confusion over the source |
| of Apache software products is a serious issue for the ASF. Both for consumers trying |
| to find Apache products, and for the communities and PMCs that build our |
| products, the name and logo association of Apache marks with our actual |
| project communities and products is important to us.</p> |
| <p>We understand the importance in our ecosystem of third parties building |
| software products on or in conjunction with Apache products. If you |
| build such software products, see the <a href="#poweredby">next question about our |
| "Powered by..." program</a>.</p> |
| <h1 id="poweredby">May I use Apache Powered by... marks or logos in software product names or logos?<a class="headerlink" href="#poweredby" title="Permalink">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>Yes, under certain circumstances, you may use the Powered by... phrase or |
| a project-specific <a href="/foundation/press/kit/#links">Powered by... logo</a> in direct conjunction with your |
| software product or service's primary branding. This applies for all |
| Apache project names and the Powered By... variation (inside a circle with |
| Powered By Apache around the outside) of their logos.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>Third parties providing products or services that are supersets of the |
| functionality of an Apache product, or services that run atop Apache products, |
| may use any "Powered by..." form of the Apache brand name of the related |
| product. For example, "BigCo SuperThing, Powered by Apache Spark" would be |
| acceptable, provided that you meet <strong>all</strong> of the other requirements:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>Any primary product home pages or landing pages for the SuperThing product must include a |
| link from the homepage named "Apache <em>Spark</em>" pointing to the actual Apache |
| project home page at http://<em>spark</em>.apache.org/ Note that you <strong>must</strong> include |
| "Apache" before the product mark.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>You product name <strong>must</strong> consistently use the "Apache Spark" version of the Apache |
| product name and follow the <a href="/foundation/marks/guide">Apache <em>Project</em> brand usage guide</a>.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Do not visually combine the ASF product's Powered by... logo with any |
| other images, or change the logo in any way other than ways <strong>required</strong> by printing restrictions.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>On your website link any Powered by... logo to the homepage for |
| the ASF project on the apache.org website.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Include a <a href="#attribution">trademark attribution</a> to the Apache Software Foundation |
| on the page itself (footers are acceptable; links with attributions on separate pages are <strong>not</strong>).</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Ensure that your website and marketing materials do not imply ASF |

| <p>Ensure that your website and marketing materials do not confuse the |

| <p>Various Apache projects include a "Powered by..."-specific logo for |
| their product(s). If the product you are interested in doesn't provide |
| a Powered by... logo, ask the relevant PMC to consider creating one.</p> |
| <p><strong>NOTE:</strong> Use of an Apache product's normal logo (i.e. the <em>non</em> Powered-by) is |
| <strong>not</strong> permissible to directly denote products or services, even those |
| built atop an Apache product. You must not visually combine or directly associate Apache products' normal logos with third-party product logos.</p> |
| <p>See also the <a href="/foundation/press/kit/">Powered By Apache logo</a> |

| <h1 id="titlefeather">May I use the Apache feather logo on the cover/title of published books, articles, or other publications?<a class="headerlink" href="#titlefeather" title="Permalink">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>No. The Apache feather logo (old horizontal version, or new vertical version) is a special trademark to the members of the Apache |
| Software Foundation. You may <strong>not</strong> use the feather logo on the external covers or title pages |
| of books or similar printed materials.</p> |
| <h1 id="titlelogo">May I use Apache product logos on the cover/title of published books, articles, or other publications?<a class="headerlink" href="#titlelogo" title="Permalink">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>Use of Apache project logos on the external cover or title pages of books or |
| similar printed materials is allowed only with permission; to request |
| this, <a href="/foundation/marks/contact">contact us</a> with a mockup of the cover and other details about your |
| publication.</p> |
| <p>We understand the importance in our ecosystem of authors publishing |
| informational books about Apache products, and the value that can bring |
| in terms of new contributors to our communities. However, you must take care to use Apache product logos in descriptive ways, without |
| implying any association or endorsement, and without implying that |
| your book is an official or sole source of information about any |
| Apache product.</p> |
| <h1 id="insidebook">May I use Apache marks, screenshots, or program output within published books, articles, or other publications?<a class="headerlink" href="#insidebook" title="Permalink">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>In general, yes, as long as you comply with the rest of the Apache trademark |
| policies, in particular in regard to not claiming association or endorsement |
| of/for/by the ASF. For more details or for explicit permissions when legally required, <a href="/foundation/marks/contact">contact us</a>.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>The ASF prefers that you refer to Apache products using the |
| full "Apache <em>Ignite</em>" form of the product name, at least in the first or most |
| prominent uses within a book, chapter, article, or other section |
| of a larger published work; see the <a href="/foundation/marks/guide">Apache <em>Project</em> brand usage guide</a> for details.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>You may use screenshots, program output, and other displays created by or taken |
| of Apache products in use in descriptive ways in the |
| content of publications. Such use may include Apache product logos |
| as they normally display in the product in question.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>You must include a trademark attribution on the obverse title page or |
| wherever you acknowledge other trademarks and copyrights. A |
| preferred attribution would be:</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p>Apache®, Apache Ignite, Ignite, |
| and the flame logo are either registered trademarks or trademarks |
| of the Apache Software Foundation |
| in the United States and/or other countries. No endorsement by |
| The Apache Software Foundation is implied by the use of these marks.</p> |
| </blockquote> |
| <ul> |
| <li>ASF does not require royalties for the use of Apache marks or other IP in |
| regularly-published books. We certainly do appreciate non-targeted donations, |
| and a number of publishers have set up systems to donate all or part of the royalties from their |
| books to the ASF. Read more about <a href="/foundation/contributing.html">Donating to the |
| ASF</a>.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h1 id="insideuniv">May I use Apache marks, screenshots, or program output in academic papers, articles, or similar non-profit scholarly publications?<a class="headerlink" href="#insideuniv" title="Permalink">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>Yes, as long as you comply with the rest of Apache trademark |
| policies, in particular in regard to not claiming association or endorsement |
| of/for/by the ASF. For more details or for explicit permissions when legally required, <a href="/foundation/marks/contact">contact us</a>.</p> |
| <p>As long as uses of Apache trademarks or logos are clear in referring to the software |
| products produced by the ASF, the ASF position is that this FAQ should constitute sufficient |
| permissions for non-profit academic and scholarly papers and publications to use |
| our trademarks in all respectful ways. We appreciate the researchers and students |
| who want to use Apache software products to further human knowledge.</p> |
| <h1 id="incubator">Should we donate project trademarks along with the code when we submit to the Apache Incubator?<a class="headerlink" href="#incubator" title="Permalink">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>That depends on your goals. Many groups donate existing projects to the |
| <a href="//incubator.apache.org/">Apache Incubator</a>, to become podlings and, we hope eventually become official Apache top level |
| projects (TLPs). When you have an existing project that has a well-known brand |
| and associated trademarks or registrations, the <strong>donor</strong> needs to decide if they |
| also wish to donate all trademarks with the project, or if they will keep the |
| trademarks, and have the new podling choose a new name and brand. For a podling to graduate and become a TLP, |
| the ASF must own all trademark rights to the podling's brand.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>If you donate the brand with the project, the ASF must have full legal ownership |
| of all brand elements before graduation. It becomes an Apache brand, and the |
| donor will not be allowed to claim any special relationship with the trademarks going forward.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>If you keep the brand, the podling will need to choose a new name as it starts the incubation process. This allows you to keep the goodwill from your |
| existing brand, but means that the podling will likely have to work harder to grow |
| the diverse community that the Incubation process is designed to show.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <h1 id="podlingxfer">How do we transfer trademark rights when submitting a project to the Apache Incubator<a class="headerlink" href="#podlingxfer" title="Permalink">¶</a></h1> |
| <p>One of the <em>graduation</em> criteria for podlings to TLP status is that the ASF own <strong>all</strong> trademark rights |
| and goodwill to the podling's brand. Since the incubation process takes a number of |
| months, the recommended way to transfer trademarks and any pre-existing registrations is:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>In the incubation proposal, explicitly note that the donor organization is planning |
| to donate all trademarks and goodwill. Include a list of all trademarks, |
| especially any registrations or applications outstanding.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>After the ASF accepts the podling for incubation, has imported the code, and |
| published a website, have an officer of the donating organization <a href="/foundation/marks/contact">contact us</a> |
| via email to explicitly state that you will be transferring all trademarks. This gives |
| the ASF assurance of the transfer, but does not require the donor to legally assign |
| the trademarks until the podling nears graduation. Also, list the trademarks and donor |
| organization in the <a href="//incubator.apache.org/guides/names.html">PODLINGNAMESEARCH</a> when that issue is |
| created as part of the incubation process.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Before the podling is ready to graduate, have donor counsel <a href="/foundation/marks/contact">contact us</a> |
| to sign a standard trademark transfer agreement in the US, where the ASF is |
| headquartered. As the ASF is a non-profit, we appreciate any assistance in processing the transfer, especially |
| of applications in process. The legal transfer must be signed before |
| the podling can formally graduate, typically at a monthly board meeting.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> If you are considering submitting a new registration application |
| <em>during the incubation process</em>, you <strong>must</strong> coordinate with VP, Brand and ASF counsel.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
