This file contains guidelines for using the Ada trademark. (Ada IC point of contact: Gil Austin) The following version of the "Guidelines For Use of the Trademark Ada*" deviates slightly from the original document. This is due to the fact that the computer does not have the capability to show a Registered Trademark "R circled". An "*" replaces the Registered Trademark "R" in this document. To obtain a printed copy of the "Guidelines For Use of the Trademark Ada*" send a request to Ada-INFO@Ada20. ===================================================================== GUIDELINES FOR USE OF THE TRADEMARK Ada* September 15, 1986 The trademark Ada* is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). This trademark is for use in connection with a programming language developed by DoD, as well as for related computer programs in the form of tapes, discs, cards or other media, manuals, leaflets, brochures, and other descriptions concerning such computer software. Authorization for use of the trademark "Ada" is controlled by the Ada Joint Program Office, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSDRE). The "Ada" trademark is valuable property which the DoD intends to protect against unauthorized use. However, DoD will authorize use of the trademark "Ada" in instances where the proposed use of the mark "Ada" is consistent with Government interest and these Guidelines. I- Authorization For Use Of The Trademark Ada* The trademark "Ada" may be used freely when used in accordance with the following: a. The trademark "Ada" shall not, in connection with the protected goods as set forth above, be utilized as part of any other name or composite term, or the name of any product offered for sale, unless such use is specifically authorized and licensed in writing by the Ada Joint Program Office, OUSDRE; b. The mark "Ada" shall not be used in conjunction with describing, identifying, or naming a compiler or computer language translator unless such use complies with the provisions of Section III below; c. Each appearance of the trademark "Ada" should be represented with the first letter capitalized and the following two letters in lower case (i.e., Ada), except that all capital letters (ADA) may be used where the style of the representation is required for consistency with the rest of the text; d. It is fundamentally important that the "Ada" trademark not become a generic name for a class of programming languages; and that it be well understood that the Ada trademark refers to one programming language, created by DoD, whose purity is maintained through a rigorous language control mechanism. Thus, the trademark "Ada" should only be used as an adjective followed by the noun it modifies (i.e., "programming language"). We must therefore require that all reference and use is to the "Ada programming language" or "Ada language" (assuming that the textual content makes clear that what is being referred to is a computer programming language). "Ada" should not be used alone in text content without the word "language" or similar noun following it. II- Acknowledgment of the Trademark a. In any published material, the first appearance of the term "Ada" must be properly acknowledged and include the statement "Ada is a registered trademark of the U.S. Government (Ada Joint Program Office)." b. For journal articles and similar works, a "*" shall appear immediately to the upper right of the "Ada" mark the first time it appears and the trademark notice should appear at the bottom of the first page or surface on which the mark "Ada" appears. c. For promotional or other material utilized in conjunction with a product offered for sale, a "*" (at least one sixteenth inch minimum diameter in medium bold type) shall appear immediately to the upper right of the "Ada" mark the first time it appears on each page or surface, and the trademark notice shall appear on the bottom of each such page or surface. If such first occurrence is not also the largest appearing Ada trademark on that page or surface, then a "*" should also appear immediately to the upper right of such largest-appearing mark. d. For books and similar works about or discussing the Ada programming language, the trademark "Ada" must be recognized and marked on the cover, title, and copyright pages in accordance with the requirements: i) If the trademark "Ada" is used on the cover of a book, journal, article or similar material or work, then a "*" symbol should appear immediately to the upper right of the "Ada" trademark at its first occurrence on that cover. If such first occurrence is not also the largest appearing "Ada" trademark on that cover, then a "*" should also appear immediately to the upper right of such largest-appearing mark. Such "*" symbol should be at least one-sixteenth of an inch (l/l6) high, and at least medium boldness, in ink of color contrasting from its background and appearing so as to clearly stand out from its background. ii) If the trademark "Ada" is used on the title page of such work, then a "*" symbol shall appear immediately to the upper right of the "Ada" trademark at its first occurrence on that page. If such first occurrence is not also the largest appearing Ada trademark on that page, then a "*" should also appear immediately to the upper right of such largest-appearing mark. Such "*" symbol should be at least one-sixteenth of an inch (l/l6") high, and no less than medium boldness, in ink of color contrasting from its background and appearing so as to clearly stand out from its background. iii) The trademark notice in II.a. above should also appear on the same page as the work's copyright notice, in a type-size and boldness no smaller than that used for such copyright notice. In the event that the work does not include a copyright notice, then the trademark notice should appear on the page following the title page. III- Authorization For Use In Conjunction With Compilers a. Describing, advertising, or promoting a language processor as an "Ada" processor is equivalent to making a voluntary statement of conformance to ANSI/MIL-STD-l8l5A-l983. The term "Ada" may be used in describing language processors which are not completely conforming or are not making a claim of conformance provided that there is a precise, easily visible statement of their non-conformance at the same time and in the same context. b. Complete Implementation Compilers: A royalty-free license for the use of the trademark "Ada" in conjunction with a computer language compiler or computer language translator asserted to possess the capability for generating machine code or interpretive code from valid Ada statements, or software related to such compiler, will be authorized if such compiler or translator fully complies with the ANSI/MIL-STD-l8l5A-l983 (Ada standard). Those persons advertising, or otherwise promoting a language processor asserted as conforming to the Ada standard are required to provide the Ada Joint Program Office, OUSDRE, with evidence sufficient to demonstrate conformance to the Ada standard. All product information must clearly indicate that neither the U.S. Government nor ANSI endorses or warrants the product being offered. c. Incomplete Implementation Compilers: Use of the trademark "Ada" in conjunction with describing, identifying, or naming compilers or language translator which do not fully implement the full Ada language as defined in the ANSI/MIL-STD-l8l5A-l983 is hereby authorized, provided, however, that all advertisements, promotional materials, information distributions, etc. include a precise, easily visible statement indicating those Ada language features which are not implemented (in the same type font, type size, and boldness of type as the body of the advertisement etc., or, for non-printed media the equivalent thereof). Furthermore, those persons advertising, offering for sale, or otherwise promoting a language processor Ada language compiler which is not a complete implementation Ada language translator are required to provide the Ada Joint Program Office, OUSDRE, with evidence sufficient to demonstrate that such portions of the Ada language asserted as implemented conform to the Ada Standard. IV- Marks Derived From Or Related To The Ada Trademark Prohibited Unless Authorized In Writing Terms derived from the trademark "Ada", or terms which are related to, incorporate, or are confusingly similar to it are considered to infringe the "Ada" trademark unless such use is specifically authorized in writing by the DoD Ada Joint Program Office or unless they are not related in any way to the protected goods set forth above. Correspondence regarding these guidelines should be directed to: Ada Joint Program Office (OUSDRE), ATTN: Trademark Advisor, Room 3Dl39 (l2ll Fern, C-l07), The Pentagon, Washington, D.C. 2030l-3081. * Ada is a registered trademark of the U.S. Government (Ada Joint Program Office)
