What Is a Trademark?
A trademark is a word, name, symbol, design or device (or a combination of these) that identifies the goods or services of a person or company and distinguishes them from the goods or services of others. A trademark assures consumers of consistent quality with respect to those goods or services and aids in their promotion.
Unless we grant written permission in a contract or other document, or describe below a permitted use, you may not use any of Hoplite’s trademarks. But, even after we grant such permission, we retain the right to modify or revoke such permission in our sole discretion unless
otherwise prohibited in a separate agreement. If you have questions about these Guidelines as they pertain to trademarks, please contact us at [email protected]
