Trademark Guidelines

When referring to Argus or Argus Media as our company/trade name, there are no special requirements in terms of differentiation or use of trademark symbols.

Genuine descriptive references to our product or service names are limited to text-only references and must be truthful, must not disparage Argus, and must not be misleading or otherwise cause confusion. You must not create any false impression as to Argus sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement of/with your company or products/services.

Our logos may not be used by third parties without express permission from Argus Media. To obtain permission, please contact us at info@argusmedia.com.

Please ensure you adhere to the following rules of use in connection with any legitimate use of or reference to any of our trademarks. The following is not intended to waive any of Argus’ rights including any rights reserved to Argus in its agreements with third parties:

• When a product/service is referenced, ownership by Argus must be attributed on the page/screen where the reference appears, or in the legal notices section of the communication or site in which it is referenced. For example: [insert trade mark] is a trademark of the Argus Media group.
• All of our report names include the name ARGUS and all references to our reports and publications must display the name correctly, with the name ARGUS in the title. Argus uses the following format for referring to its report titles: the Argus European Products report.
• Our trademarks should be differentiated from surrounding text. For example, The Argus Open Markets^® platform enables registered participants to post bids and offers in real time to initiate commodity deals on the spot market. The AOM^® platform is intuitive, easy to use and extremely secure.
• The proper symbol for registered trademarks is ^®. It is your responsibility to ensure that registered marks are denoted as such and that you do not use the ® symbol incorrectly.
• The proper symbol for product names which are not registered (i.e. the subject of pending applications or are used in accordance with common law trademark principles) is ™. As a general rule, the ^TM symbol does not need to be used but the trademark must be differentiated from surrounding text (for example using bold lettering).
• You must not create or display any unauthorised version of the ARGUS logo.
• Translations of our trademarks are not permitted.
• You must not incorporate any of our trademarks into your company's business, product, or service names, or into any domain names, social media handles or otherwise connect your company name with us or any of our product names without express permission from Argus. You must not combine our trademarks with any other terms.
• Do not use our trademarks as a noun or verb, in the possessive form or in the plural form. Instead use trademarks to describe the service, platform or price in question, ie as adjectives before nouns. For example: the Argus Direct^® platform or the ASCI^® index.

Improper Use

In the event you see or become aware of any unauthorised or improper use of Argus’ trademarks, or if you want additional trademark information, please contact us at info@argusmedia.com.
