It is intended to protect users from confusion as to the source of certain work. Also, users who see a trademark rely on that association and will have expectations about the reputation and level of quality and level of service comparable to what they have come to expect from the other work provided under the marks. Therefore, trademarks are very powerful and valuable tools that embody the Wikimedia Foundation and its community members' reputation and serve as a "shorthand" way for users to recognize a work, product, or service. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== {{anchor|FAQ-whataresites}}<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">0.2 What are the "Wikimedia sites"?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> The Wikimedia Foundation runs several free software and free content sites, some of which are listed here: [[Special:SiteMatrix|Our projects]]. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Start}} == {{anchor|FAQ-policyapplies}}<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">1 What does this policy apply to?</span> == {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== {{anchor|FAQ-wordmark}}<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">1.1 What is a "wordmark"?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> It is a trademark that is a text-only word (like "Wikipedia" or "Wikimedia") that is used in connection with the work that it represents to identify the source. In addition, a wordmark includes all official translated and transliterated marks (e.g. "[[:w:tr:Ana Sayfa|Vikipedi]]"). </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== {{anchor|FAQ-nonstylizedwordmark}}<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">1.2 What is a "non-stylized wordmark"?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Non-stylized wordmarks are simply words like "Wikimedia" and the project names, like "Wikipedia," "Wiktionary," and so on. In comparison, the stylized wordmarks are these names in their special formats, such as with certain fonts. For example, the special format for the "Wikipedia" wordmark looks like this: [[File:Wikipedia wordmark.svg|80px]]. Both stylized and non-stylized wordmarks are trademarks of the Wikimedia Foundation. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== {{anchor|FAQ-tradedress}}<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">1.3 What is "trade dress"?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> For our purposes, trade dress is the design of a website or article that identifies the source of the website or online material. Think of it as the "look and feel" of a site. One example is the specific design and appearance of a Wikipedia article, or the Wikipedia main page. The trade dress of any Wikimedia site is also a trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation. Trademark laws also protect trade dress. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> [[<noinclude>Special:MyLanguage/Trademark policy</noinclude>#policy-wikimediamarks|Back to The "Wikimedia marks."]] </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== {{anchor|FAQ-communitymember}}<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">1.4 Who is a "community member"?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Everyone who contributes to a Wikimedia site.

If there are inconsistencies between this trademark policy and a chapter, user group, or a thematic organization agreement, the organization should follow their agreement. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> [[<noinclude>Special:MyLanguage/Trademark policy</noinclude>#policy-wmorgs|Back to Chapters, User Groups and Thematic Organizations]] </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Start}} == <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2 How to use the Wikimedia marks</span> == {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== {{anchor|FAQ-smallerlogo}}<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2.1 Can my logo, name, or company name be smaller than the Wikimedia mark if it is really obvious that my products and services are not offered by the Wikimedia Foundation?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> No. We need to make sure it is extremely clear that the Wikimedia Foundation is not providing your products or services. This is a simple, consistent way of doing that. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2.2 What if I clearly state that the products or services are provided by me?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Sorry, your logo, name, or company name must still be bigger than any Wikimedia marks and reasonably separated from Wikimedia's marks. People do not always read the fine print (shocking, I know!). So, we need to make it as clear as possible that your products or services are not provided by the Wikimedia Foundation. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== {{anchor|FAQ-outsidewmsites}}<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2.3 What do you mean by "outside the Wikimedia sites"?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Uses of the trademarks that are [[#FAQ-whataresites|not on the Wikimedia sites]], such as Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, Wiktionary, Wikidata, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikispecies, Wikinews, Wikiversity, Wikivoyage, or Wikimedia Meta-Wiki. For the purposes of this trademark policy, the use of trademarks on Wikimedia Cloud VPS will be considered a Wikimedia site. Accordingly, you use the marks outside the sites when you place them on flyers for an edit-a-thon. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2.4 Can I still create terms that combine Wikimedia trademarks with other words like "Wikipedian in Residence"?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Yes. This provision is not meant to stop community members from creatively combining the marks with other words to create new terms for the Wikimedia movement as long as they do it on the Wikimedia sites. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== {{anchor|FAQ-translatetext}}<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2.5 Can I translate the text in the marks?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> You may translate the text in the marks [[#FAQ-whataresites|on the Wikimedia sites]]. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2.6 Can I add graphic elements to, for example, celebrate a special event?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> You can create [[:c:Category:SVG Wikimedia community logos|remixes]] for special on-site purposes, but please do not change the logos outside our sites.

Please make sure that the remix will not be confused with the original Wikimedia logo.</span> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2.8 May I use high-resolution versions of the logos?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Yes!

A person reading your document, looking at your website, or watching your film should be able to easily find the notice. Good examples are: at the end of the (same) page of a document, in the imprint of a book, at the bottom of a webpage, and in the credits of a video. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2.10 What if I do not have enough space to include a notice?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Do not worry! If the mark is going to be seen on a mobile or other medium with little space, you can simply use the trademark symbol (™) for any Wikimedia trademark you use. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2.11 How should I refer to the trademark in the notice?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Wordmarks can be referenced verbatim (i.e. "Wikimedia Commons"). Logos should be described according to the [[Visual identity guidelines#toc-puzzle|Visual Identity Guidelines]]. Examples include the "Wikipedia Puzzle Globe" and the "'W' icon." </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2.12 What if I use more than one trademark?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Make sure to describe all the trademarks in the notice, like this: </div> <br /><br /> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> "The Wikidata wordmark and logo are the trademarks of the Wikimedia Foundation." </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2.13 When do I have to use the trademark symbol?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> You only need to use the trademark symbol when you do not have enough space to write the entire notice, like when you are using a trademark on a mobile screen. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2.14 Can you give some examples of how to use the trademark symbol?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Here is an example: </div> <br /> <br /> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> "Wikimedia Commons™ is one of the wonderful Wikimedia projects our community has developed to make media files, such as images, sounds, and video clips, publicly available to everyone!" </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2.15 What size does the symbol have to be?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> When you use a wordmark (like "Wikipedia"), you should use the same font size for the trademark symbol as the wordmark itself. In this context, superscript formatting is encouraged for the symbol. When the mark is an image (like the puzzle globe), you should select a font size for the symbol that matches the size of the image and place the symbol so that it is clearly visible and close enough to the upper right corner of the image without touching it. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 2.16 But I want my website to look really pretty! Can I make the symbol smaller or put it somewhere else? </div> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Unfortunately, no. Remember, you only need to put the symbol next to the first or most prominent use of the mark. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> [[<noinclude>Special:MyLanguage/Trademark policy</noinclude>#policy-noticesymbol|Back to Notice or Trademark Symbol]] </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">2.17 What does "no endorsement by or affiliation with the Wikimedia Foundation" mean?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> You need to make sure that people do not mistakenly think that you may speak on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation or one of its sites. For instance, you need to make sure that no one thinks you work for the Wikimedia Foundation. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Start}} == {{anchor|FAQ-withoutpermission}}<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">3 Using the Wikimedia Marks without asking permission</span> == {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">3.1 Can you give me some examples of when I can use the marks on the Wikimedia sites?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> You may use the marks on [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:User page}}|user pages]], [[{{lwp|Help:Contents}}|help pages]], and [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:About}}|pages about Wikimedia or the Wikimedia projects]]. You can also use the marks in a [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Mailing lists|mailing list]], on [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/IRC|IRC]], or to name a [[{{lwp|Wikipedia:Tools}}|tool]] on the Wikimedia sites. The sky is the limit, as long as the use is related to a site, promotes the mission, and complies with the [[Terms of Use|Terms of Use]]. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> [[<noinclude>Special:MyLanguage/Trademark policy</noinclude>#policy-onwmsites|Back to Use of trademarks on the Wikimedia sites]] </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== {{anchor|FAQ-notcommunityfocused}}<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">3.2 What events are not "community-focused"?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> An event that includes mostly people who are not community members is not a community-focused event. (Please see the [[#FAQ-publicevent|FAQ on events in general]].) This does not mean that you cannot have guests at your meetup! </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">3.3 Can you give me some examples of community-focused events?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Community-focused events are those events that are primarily open to community members and promote the mission. They tend to be related to improving the overall quality of the Wikimedia sites. Examples include conferences and monthly meetups hosted by community members, as well as other specific events like the "London Wikipedians regular's table," Wiki-Conference in Russia, and Wikipedia Workshop Köln (DE). </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> [[<noinclude>Special:MyLanguage/Trademark policy</noinclude>#policy-communityfocused|Back to Community-focused events]] </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">3.4 If my event is community-focused, which marks can I use?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> First, all Wikimedia community-focused events can bear a trademarked name. You may also use the Wikimedia logos to decorate your venue, but only to the extent they are relevant. For example, you cannot use the Wikisource logo for a Wikimedia Commons-only event.

Yaaay! </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">5.3 How do I avoid mimicking Wikimedia sites when I use the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> All wikis using MediaWiki do in fact share certain graphic elements under the default theme, but the Wikimedia sites have certain visual features that distinguish them. Do not imitate these distinguishing features. For example, you should not use logos that are confusingly similar to the Wikimedia marks or name your site something that sounds like a Wikimedia site. But you can use the "Powered by MediaWiki" button as that button simply describes that the wiki is powered by MediaWiki. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Be sure to directly download the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software if you want to use it. Please do not try to blindly copy the HTML code of a Wikimedia site! If you do, you will accidentally import features from our sites, like our Terms of Use or our "contact us" details.

We also employ outside contractors and legal counsel to help protect our trademark portfolio globally. Within our resource constraints, our legal team pursues misuses of our marks to ensure that the Wikimedia logos remain distinctively associated with the Wikimedia community. After careful and sensitive evaluation, we send out cease-and-desist letters, which are usually effective. In the few instances that cannot be resolved by other means, we consider litigation to protect the marks. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">6.2 Who is responsible for enforcing Wikimedia's trademarks?</span>==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Trademark enforcement is currently handled by the Wikimedia Foundation legal team to ensure consistency and compliance with trademark law. But we rely on the Wikimedia community to help us identify potential trademark infringements. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">6.3 What happens when you receive a report of a potential trademark infringement?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> When we receive a complaint that our trademarks are being misused, we first send a confirmation to the person submitting the complaint. Potential infringements are then logged into our system. The legal team then combs through each of those complaints to investigate the alleged infringement. We visit the site personally to make sure the complaint has merit. Then we apply US trademark law in assessing whether there is actual "misuse" and it is a valid infringement of the trademark. In general, the standard of "misuse" in US law is whether the use of the trademark is "confusingly similar" to the Wikimedia Foundation's use of the trademark. In other words, will the potential infringers use of the trademark confuse users into thinking their site is sponsored by or hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation? We always contact the potential infringer first to see if they will voluntarily stop using our marks or work with us to make their use less confusing. If we are unable to work things out informally, and they refuse to comply with a cease and desist letter, we decide whether to move forward with litigation to stop the infringement. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">6.4 Can I send a cease and desist letter on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation when I find misuse?</span> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Please do not.

Consistent use is important in order for us to maintain protection over the Wikimedia marks. It helps avoid confusion among users that may view marks similar to the Wikimedia marks. If Wikimedia marks are displayed consistently, users can be sure when they are viewing actual Wikimedia content instead of an imposter site. </div> {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/End}} {{Trademark/FAQ/Section/Sub/Start}} ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> 8.4 What if I have more questions? </div> ==== <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> If you have any other questions that are not addressed here, please post them on the discussion page.
