Legal & Compliance
Draft — Pending Attorney Review. This guide is under review by legal counsel and will be updated upon completion of that review. [PLACEHOLDER — ATTORNEY TO CONFIRM TRADEMARK REGISTRATION STATUS, OWNER ENTITY NAME, AND JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS.]
| Mark | Type | Usage Notes |
|---|---|---|
| AI Infrastructure Systems Engineering™ | Service mark / methodology identifier | Always use the full name on first reference in a document. AISE™ may be used on subsequent references. |
| EDC Certified™ | Certification-related identifier / service mark | Use only in connection with an active written authorization or certificate. Do not use to imply a project, site, or product is certified without an active authorization. |
| LegacyGrid AI | Trade name / brand identifier | Use to identify the firm only. Do not use in a domain name, account name, or source identifier without written permission. |
Use the ™ symbol immediately after each mark on first use in any document, web page, presentation, or communication. The ™ symbol indicates a claimed trademark. It does not represent federal registration. Federal trademark registration is pending for one or more marks. [PLACEHOLDER — ATTORNEY TO CONFIRM REGISTRATION STATUS AND SYMBOL REQUIREMENTS PER MARK.]
Use marks exactly as shown — do not change spelling, capitalization, spacing, wording, color, proportion, or orientation. Do not combine a mark or logo with another mark, word, or design without written approval. Use marks as adjectives, not nouns or verbs. Do not use marks in the plural or possessive form. Do not use a mark in a domain name, social-media handle, application name, or keyword advertisement without written permission. Use the attribution notice in any material that makes material use of the marks: "AI Infrastructure Systems Engineering™, AISE™, and EDC Certified™ are trademarks of [PLACEHOLDER — INSERT LEGAL OWNER]. LegacyGrid AI is a brand identifier of [PLACEHOLDER — INSERT FULL LEGAL ENTITY NAME]. All rights reserved."
Use EDC Certified™ only in connection with an active written authorization or certificate from LegacyGrid AI. Do not display an EDC Certified™ badge, seal, or certificate unless an active written authorization expressly permits it. Do not state or imply that EDC Certified™ is a government approval, professional-engineering stamp, warranty, safety certification, financial rating, investment endorsement, or guarantee of current or future performance. Use must stop or change immediately upon expiration, suspension, revocation, material scope change, or written instruction from LegacyGrid AI.
• Implying sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, affiliation, certification, or approval that LegacyGrid AI has not authorized in writing. • Using a mark for a competing methodology, certification program, advisory service, product, company name, domain, social handle, application, or keyword advertisement. • Changing spelling, capitalization, spacing, wording, color, proportion, orientation, or combining a mark or logo with another mark without approval. • Using a mark in a misleading, defamatory, unlawful, obscene, or reputationally harmful context. • Reproducing proprietary assessment criteria, scorecards, badges, certificates, seals, or report templates without written permission. • Using a mark more prominently than the third party's own brand or in a way that suggests LegacyGrid AI is the source of the third party's goods or services.
A third party may make a limited, truthful, non-misleading text reference to LegacyGrid AI or a methodology to identify the firm or describe an actual relationship, service, quotation, publication, or current authorization. The reference must be no more prominent than reasonably necessary, must not use a logo or badge without written permission, must preserve the correct mark, and must include context that avoids implying sponsorship or broader certification. All contractual confidentiality and publicity restrictions still apply.
Requests to license a mark, display a logo or certification badge, reproduce methodology materials, or make a partnership or endorsement claim must be submitted to info@legacygridai.com with the subject "Trademark/License Request." Include the requesting legal entity, proposed wording or artwork, media, territory, audience, duration, and relevant authorization or certificate. No permission exists unless LegacyGrid AI gives written approval through an authorized representative. [PLACEHOLDER — CONFIRM TRADEMARK/LICENSING CONTACT AND APPROVAL AUTHORITY.]
LegacyGrid AI may request correction, attribution, removal, suspension, or cessation of unauthorized or misleading use. Failure to object once is not a waiver. Authorized users must cooperate promptly and retain evidence of approval. Questions about fair use, nominative use, comparative advertising, certification claims, or press references should be referred to counsel before publication.
