Trademark Policies & Usage Guidelines
The WIKA name and logo, including “WIKA,” “WIKA Instrument LP,” or the other WIKA formatives, and all related product and service names, design marks and slogans (“Trademarks”) that are used and displayed on this Site are registered and unregistered Trademarks of WIKA Instrument, LP and its affiliates.
Authorized parties may use the WIKA Trademarks only as specified by WIKA. To seek authorization to use a WIKA Trademark, please contact info@wika.com and identify: 1.) your business and the primary contact; 2.) the Trademark sought to be used; 3.) how it will be used; 4.) where and how it will be displayed, and in connection with what business, product and/or promotion; and 5.) for how long you intend to display the Trademark. WIKA is not required to grant any request for authorization, but may reasonably, from time to time, grant approval for using its Trademarks to identify WIKA products if: 1.) you do not incorporate or include any of the WIKA Trademarks in your company name, product name, domain name, or in the name of your service; 2.) your product name is not confusingly similar to any of the Trademarks; 3.) none of the Trademarks are used in connection with obscenity or pornography, and the use does not disparage, defame, or misidentify WIKA, any of its products, or any other person or entity; 4.) your use does not directly or indirectly imply WIKA’s sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your product or service; and 5.) the Trademark is not the most prominent visual element on your product or service, and your company name and/or logo, your product or service name, and your graphics should be significantly larger than the reference to WIKA’s Trademark. WIKA reserves the right to rescind the approval of any such use of a Trademark at any time, for any reason.
Any use of WIKA’s Trademarks requires proper acknowledgment. If your use includes references to a WIKA product, the full name of the product must be referenced at the first and most prominent mention (for example: WIKA®). When referencing any WIKA Trademarks, please mark with a ™, SM or ® as indicated in the WIKA Logo Library displayed below or as consistent with the use of a WIKA Trademark on this Site or in WIKA’s publication materials. Include an attribution of WIKA’s ownership of a Trademark within the credit notice section of your publication. For example: WIKA® is a registered trademark of WIKA Instrument Corporation. You may not shorten or abbreviate any of WIKA’s Trademarks. Always spell and capitalize WIKA’s Trademarks exactly as they appear on this Site or in WIKA’s publication materials.
