Trademarks Notice


Company Name

Argus or Argus Media is our trade name, or name under which we conduct business, and, when used in that context, never requires the ® or ™ designation. When referring to Argus as a company name, with or without the “Ltd” or “Inc.,” do not include a trademark designation.

Trademarks

Argus is also a registered trademark that is used to distinguish products and services. As a registered trademark, it should be designated with the ® symbol (i.e. Argus®).

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

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.

General Guidelines

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.
  • 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.
  • Our product and service names should be differentiated from surrounding text. For example, “For more information about the Argus Direct® service…” or “For more information about the Argus Open Markets® platform…”
  • 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 the subject of pending applications or are used in accordance with common law trademark principles is ™. You should position the applicable designation immediately after the trademark to which it applies.
  • 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 product names or otherwise connect your company name with us or any of our product names without express permission from Argus.
  • 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, for example the Argus Direct® platform or the ASCI® price.
