Trademark Usage Guidelines

Nomyx Suppliers and Vendors

Please follow the specific trademark usage guidelines, if any, contained in your agreement with Nomyx. Use of the Nomyx Marks must be explicitly approved by Nomyx Procurement and Branding. Please contact your Nomyx representative with any questions regarding the approval process.

Trademark Notices

Properly designate the status of the Nomyx Marks by using the correct trademark symbol (® or ™) reflecting Nomyx's ownership of particular marks as set forth below. Also include an attribution of Nomyx's ownership in the following format at the bottom of the first page where you use a Nomyx Mark: "_______ is a trademark of Nomyx"

You must properly designate (with ® or ™) the Nomyx Marks at the first or most prominent use where the Marks appear in your document, publication, website, or elsewhere (for example, in a title, heading, or sub-heading). Subsequent references to the same Nomyx Mark may omit the notice symbol.

Trademarks are Singular Adjectives, Not Verbs and Should Not be Made Possessive

Use the Nomyx Marks only as adjectives followed by the appropriate generic product or service noun describing the relevant product or service. Examples of appropriate generic terms include: service, software, platform, technology, or application. The Nomyx Marks should not be used in plural or possessive form or as verbs.

References to Nomyx

When Nomyx is used to refer to our company, Nomyx Technology Labs Inc.., rather than as a brand of product or services, then the rules for proper usage change slightly. Unlike trademarks, company names are proper nouns; they can be used in the possessive form and do not need to be followed by a generic term. Neither the ™ nor ® symbol should accompany references to Nomyx as a company. Example:

• Correct: Nomyx is now offering its customers more choices than ever.
• Incorrect: Nomyx® is now offering its customers more choices than ever.

Ownership Assertion

Do not assert rights over any Nomyx Mark and do not seek to obtain trademark protection for any Nomyx Marks or variations thereof. Do not incorporate a Nomyx Mark or variations thereof into your own product or service names, trademarks, logos, social media handles, or company names. Do not use the Nomyx Marks in domain names and do not register for domains that include a Nomyx Mark or variations thereof.

Style of Use

When using the Nomyx Marks that are logos: (i) follow the style and usage guidelines available in our Brand Style Guide (ii) use our logos exactly as they appear in the Brand Style Guide, and do not alter or distort their appearance in any way, for example, by adding your own design elements or changing the font, colors, or size; (iii) allow for clear space around our logos; and (iv) maintain the legibility of our logos and keep them sharp, clear, and well-produced.

When using our word marks, you may not abbreviate them, incorporate them into acronyms, change their spelling, use them in parts, or use improper capitalization.

No Trademark Bidding

Unless expressly permitted in an agreement between you and Nomyx, you may not bid on a Nomyx Mark (or any variant or extension thereof) as a keyword on any search engine, or use a Nomyx Mark (or any variant or extension thereof) in any form of paid advertising including, but not limited to, paid social and display advertisements.

No Tarnishment

You may not use a Nomyx Mark in a disparaging, defamatory, libelous, or degrading manner.
