These guidelines are for Âé¶¹¸£Àû licensees, authorized resellers, developers, customers, and other parties wishing to use Âé¶¹¸£Àû's trademarks, service marks, or images in promotional, advertising, instructional, or reference materials, or on their web sites, products, labels, or packaging. Use of Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademarks may be prohibited, unless expressly authorized.
If you are a licensee of a Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademark or logo and have been provided with special trademark usage guidelines with your license agreement, please follow those guidelines. If your license agreement does not provide usage guidelines, then follow these guidelines.
Âé¶¹¸£Àû's trademarks, service marks, trade names, and trade dress are important assets. In following these guidelines, you help us protect our valuable trademark rights and strengthen our corporate and brand identities. By using a Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademark, in whole or in part, you are acknowledging that Âé¶¹¸£Àû is the sole owner of the trademark and promising that you will not interfere with Âé¶¹¸£Àû's rights in the trademark, including challenging Âé¶¹¸£Àû's use, registration of, or application to register such trademark, alone or in combination with other words, anywhere in the world, and that you will not harm, misuse, or bring into disrepute any Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademark. The goodwill derived from using any part of a Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademark exclusively inures to the benefit of and belongs to Âé¶¹¸£Àû. Except for the limited right to use as expressly permitted under these Guidelines, no other rights of any kind are granted hereunder, by implication or otherwise. If you have any questions regarding these guidelines, please talk to your Âé¶¹¸£Àû.
Rules for Proper Use of Âé¶¹¸£Àû Trademarks
Trademarks are adjectives used to modify nouns; the noun is the generic name of a product or service. As adjectives, trademarks may not be used in the plural or possessive form. Do not use a trademark as a verb. An appropriate generic term must appear after the trademark the first time it appears in a printed piece and as often as is reasonable after that.
Always spell and capitalize Âé¶¹¸£Àû's trademarks exactly as they are shown in Âé¶¹¸£Àû’s Products web page. Do not shorten or abbreviate Âé¶¹¸£Àû product names. Do not make up names that contain Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademarks.
When making fair use of a Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademark, you must mark and attribute them as outlined in these guidelines.
Âé¶¹¸£Àû trade dress may not be used by third parties for their own products or web sites. Please ensure that your product line, packaging, advertising or web site does not adopt a look that is confusingly similar to any of Âé¶¹¸£Àû’s.
Authorized Use of Âé¶¹¸£Àû Trademarks
Advertising, Promotional, and Sales Materials
Only Âé¶¹¸£Àû and its authorized resellers and licensees may use the Âé¶¹¸£Àû Logo in advertising, promotional, and sales materials. Âé¶¹¸£Àû Authorized Resellers may use the Âé¶¹¸£Àû Logo only as specified in their reseller agreement.
Compatibility
Developers may use Âé¶¹¸£Àû or any other Âé¶¹¸£Àû word mark (but not the Âé¶¹¸£Àû Logo or other Âé¶¹¸£Àû-owned graphic symbol/logo) in a referential phrase on packaging or promotional/advertising materials to describe that the third party product is compatible with the referenced Âé¶¹¸£Àû product or technology, provided they comply with the following requirements:
- The Âé¶¹¸£Àû word mark is not part of the product name.
- The Âé¶¹¸£Àû word mark is used in a referential phrase such as "for use with," "for," or "compatible with."
- The Âé¶¹¸£Àû word mark appears less prominent than the product name.
- The product is in fact compatible with, or otherwise works with, the referenced Âé¶¹¸£Àû product.
- The reference to Âé¶¹¸£Àû does not create a sense of endorsement, sponsorship, or false association with Âé¶¹¸£Àû or Âé¶¹¸£Àû products or services.
- The use does not show Âé¶¹¸£Àû or its products in a false or derogatory light.
Publications, Seminars, and Conferences
You may use a Âé¶¹¸£Àû word mark in connection with book titles, magazines, periodicals, seminars, or conferences provided you comply with the following requirements:
- The use reflects favorably on both Âé¶¹¸£Àû and Âé¶¹¸£Àû products or technology.
- Your name and logo appear more prominent than the Âé¶¹¸£Àû word mark on all printed materials related to the publication, seminar or conference.
- The Âé¶¹¸£Àû logo or any other Âé¶¹¸£Àû-owned graphic symbol, logo, icon or image does not appear on or in the publication or on any materials related to the publication, seminar, or conference without express written permission from Âé¶¹¸£Àû.
- A disclaimer of sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement by Âé¶¹¸£Àû, similar to the following, is included on the publication and on all related printed materials: "(Title) is an independent (publication) and has not been authorized, sponsored, or otherwise approved by Âé¶¹¸£Àû."
- A trademark attribution notice is included in the credit section giving notice of Âé¶¹¸£Àû’s ownership of its trademark(s). Please refer to the section below titled "Proper Trademark Notice and Attribution."
Links
You may place a link to a Âé¶¹¸£Àû web page on your site if the text link is not a prominent feature on the site or used in a way to mislead or confuse consumers. You may refer to the Âé¶¹¸£Àû name or product or service names in a plain text font and format provided the use follows Âé¶¹¸£Àû's trademark guidelines and you include appropriate wording such as "link to weyerhaeuser.com".
Unauthorized Use of Âé¶¹¸£Àû Trademarks
Company, Product, or Service Name
You may not use or register, in whole or in part, Âé¶¹¸£Àû or any other Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademark, including Âé¶¹¸£Àû-owned graphic symbols, logos, icons, or an alteration thereof, as or as part of a company name, trade name, product name, or service name except as specifically noted in these guidelines or pursuant to an express written license from Âé¶¹¸£Àû.
Âé¶¹¸£Àû Logo and Âé¶¹¸£Àû-owned Graphic Symbols
You may not use the Âé¶¹¸£Àû Logo or any other Âé¶¹¸£Àû-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 Âé¶¹¸£Àû, such as a reseller agreement. You may request permission to use the Âé¶¹¸£Àû Logo or any other Âé¶¹¸£Àû-owned logo by contacting us.
Variations, Takeoffs or Abbreviations
You may not use an image of a real Âé¶¹¸£Àû logo or other variation of the Âé¶¹¸£Àû logo for any purpose. Third parties cannot use a variation, phonetic equivalent, foreign language equivalent, takeoff, or abbreviation of a Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademark for any purpose.
Slogans and Taglines
You may not use or imitate a Âé¶¹¸£Àû slogan or tagline.
Âé¶¹¸£Àû's Trade Dress and Advertising Elements
Âé¶¹¸£Àû trade dress may not be used by third parties for their own products or websites. Please ensure that your product line, packaging, advertising or web site does not adopt a look that is confusingly similar to any of Âé¶¹¸£Àû’s. All page headers, custom graphics, button icons, and scripts are trademarks and/or trade dress of Âé¶¹¸£Àû and may not be copied, imitated, or used in whole or in part, without the prior written permission of Âé¶¹¸£Àû.
Endorsement or Sponsorship
Âé¶¹¸£Àû does not support the use of its logos, company names, product names, or images of Âé¶¹¸£Àû products by other parties in marketing, promotional or advertising materials as their use may create the perception that Âé¶¹¸£Àû endorses or sponsors the product, service or promotion.
Domain Names
You may not use any Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademark or virtually identical trademark in the title of your web site, as a second-level domain name, or subdomain.
Not acceptable:
- "trusjoist.com"
- "trusjoistÂé¶¹¸£Àû.com"
- "Yourname.Âé¶¹¸£Àû.com"
Merchandise Items
You may not manufacture, sell or give-away merchandise items, such as T-shirts and mugs, bearing Âé¶¹¸£Àû or any other Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademark, including symbols, logos, or icons, except pursuant to an express written trademark license from Âé¶¹¸£Àû.
Disparaging Manner
You may not use a Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademark or any other Âé¶¹¸£Àû-owned graphic symbol, logo, or icon in a disparaging manner.
Proper Âé¶¹¸£Àû Trademark Notice and Attribution
All Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademarks must be property attributed. Trademark ownership is attributed in two ways:
- With the use of a trademark symbol (TM, SM, ®) after the trademark.
- With a trademark legend, usually placed at the end of a document in fine print directly after the copyright notice
Trademark Symbols
The appropriate trademark symbol must be used when making reference to any Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademarks. The appropriate symbol for each of Âé¶¹¸£Àû’s trademarks is indicated in the products section of this website. If a product or trademark is not listed, please contact trademarks@weyerhaeuser.com.
Wherever possible, the symbol should be placed directly after the trademark in a superscript and in a size smaller than the mark itself. If you are unable to use the symbols due to the software you are using, you should use parenthetical versions as follows: (R), (tm), or (sm).
The trademark symbol does not need to be included in every use of the trademark. The trademark symbol must always be used:
- Upon the first use of the Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademark appears the text of the advertisement, brochure, or other material; and
- For all prominent uses of the trademark including title pages or headings.
Trademark Legends
Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademarks and products must be properly identified as originating from Âé¶¹¸£Àû by including a brief statement (legend) attributing ownership of these trademarks to Âé¶¹¸£Àû within the credit notice section of your product, product documentation, or other product communication. The following legend should be used on all materials that reference Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademarks:
- Âé¶¹¸£Àû, [list Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademarks/products referenced in the materials], are trademarks or registered trademarks of Âé¶¹¸£Àû NR Company or its subsidiaries in the U.S. and other countries.
The trademark legend must be clear in order to avoid any confusion over who is the owner of each mark. Following are the correct formats:
- Âé¶¹¸£Àû and Trus Joist are registered trademarks of Âé¶¹¸£Àû NR Company.
Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademarks should be specifically credited and not referred to generically as "...all other trademarks are owned by their respective companies" or similar language.
Do not use or add any other statements to the legend that in any way suggest that you have or are claiming any rights in a Âé¶¹¸£Àû trademark.
No Challenges
You agree that you will not challenge, encourage, assist, or otherwise induce third parties to challenge the Âé¶¹¸£Àû marks (except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law) or our registration thereof, nor shall you attempt to register any trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, product names, service names, legends, domain names, other designations, or abbreviations of any of the foregoing, or other distinctive brand features that are confusingly similar in any way (including, but not limited to, appearance and spelling)to the Âé¶¹¸£Àû marks.

THE USES PERMITTED HEREUNDER ARE PROVIDED BY WEYERHAEUSER "AS IS", WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING (WITHOUT LIMITATION) ANY WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Use of Âé¶¹¸£Àû’s Copyrighted Content and Materials
Âé¶¹¸£Àû products, services, marketing materials, and Web content, including images and text, are owned by Âé¶¹¸£Àû and/or by Âé¶¹¸£Àû vendors, who have given Âé¶¹¸£Àû permission to use the material.
