Trademarks
Last updated: February 18, 2026
What is a Trademark?
A trademark is a symbol, design, phrase, word, logo, any other device, or a combination of the preceding, which is used by a company in order to distinguish its products from those of their competitors and other companies within the same industry.
What is a Service Mark?
A service mark serves the same purpose as a trademark, but is different in that it identifies a service offered by a company rather than a physical product. Service marks are used for intangible goods, while trademarks are used for tangible goods. Legally, the same guidelines and legal principles are applied to service marks as they are to trademarks. Oftentimes, the terms "trademark" and "mark" are used in a manner which applies to both a company's services and products.
How to Use a Mark
When using a trademark or service mark only in the United States, append the TM, SM or ® symbol after first use of each mark. If use of the mark reaches audiences outside of the United States, do not append the symbols. Instead, use an appropriate trademark attribution notice such as "Mac Poker is a trademark of Best Odds Corp., and has been registered in the United States and other countries."
If you wish to describe use of an Apple Macintosh computer for use with poker play, then you should use language comparable to that, i.e., "for poker play with a Mac…".
When using a Best Odds Corp. trademark, apply the following rules:
- •Use a trademark as an adjective, followed by an appropriate noun descriptor.
- •Do not use a trademark in possessive form, i.e. "Mac Poker's" is inappropriate use of a trademark.
- •Do not use a trademark in plural form.
- •Never hyphenate a trademark, i.e. "Mac-poker" is an inappropriate use of a trademark.
- •Never alter a trademark. Substantially similar use of a trademark can be deemed as "confusingly similar."
- •Never portray a trademark in a negative description as it will lower the value of the mark.
- •Use proper capitalization of a trademark, or make the mark conspicuous each time it is used (e.g., bold type, ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, or "Quotations.").
- •Use lowercase letters for the generic noun(s) following a trademark.
- •Attribute the trademark symbol accurately (TM, SM or ®), and at least once per page.
- •Never register a domain name with a trademark in it.
