SAP -- Guidelines for Using SAP Trademarks

Throughout the world, thousands of customers recognize and select SAP solutions on the basis of the company's trademarks and service marks, which signify high-quality computer software products and services. Without these trademarks and service marks (collectively referred to as "trademarks"), consumers would not be able to distinguish SAP solutions from those of other companies, nor would they be able to readily identify the superior quality that SAP trademarks represent. Therefore, it is critically important that trademarks of SAP and its subsidiaries are protected.

For guidelines on trademark usage, please see the following information:

If after reviewing the Guidelines for Using SAP Trademarks you still have a question about use, please direct your inquiry to trademarks@sap.com. SAP will make reasonable efforts to respond to your request. However, based on volume of requests you should allow several weeks for a response. In the absence of a response, the Guidelines for Using SAP Trademarks shall govern any and all uses.

Designing Marketing Material

If you are a developer, partner, customer, or other third party, always use your own proprietary design style when creating and producing a marketing piece. You must not copy the SAP design style or borrow any SAP design elements.

Guidelines for Using SAP-Copyrighted Material

The use of original texts, graphics, images, screen shots, and other materials from SAP sources must be approved by SAP. In addition, when using such materials, you must include a copyright notice -- either in an adjacent area or as a footnote -- to indicate SAP's copyright. The copyright should read as follows:
