爱游戏体育鈥檚 portfolio of trademarks are valuable assets in which 爱游戏体育 has property rights. Given the value and trust represented by 爱游戏体育鈥檚 trademarks, 爱游戏体育 requires all third parties using and/or referencing 爱游戏体育鈥檚 trademarks to do so in a manner which minimizes confusion in the marketplace and avoids any implication that there is a legal relationship between the third party and 爱游戏体育. Before using 爱游戏体育鈥檚 trademarks, please refer to these Guidelines for Informational Use of 爱游戏体育 Trademarks by Third Parties (the 鈥淕uidelines鈥�) and send any questions about these Guidelines via email to 爱游戏体育鈥檚 marketing and communications department at [email protected]. A list of 爱游戏体育鈥檚 trademarks is available at Trademarks Owned by the Law School Admission Council, Inc. (鈥湴蜗诽逵€�) for your reference.

These Guidelines explain proper and improper uses of 爱游戏体育鈥檚 trademarks and are applicable to the use of 爱游戏体育鈥檚 trademarks in any medium, including, but not limited to print, multimedia, and any other form of electronic or online materials. If you are an Official LSAT content licensee with 爱游戏体育, you may have been granted special trademark usage guidelines within your license agreement. It is your responsibility to comply with the terms of the license agreement and these Guidelines (to the extent these Guidelines do not conflict with the terms of the license agreement).

Any use of 爱游戏体育鈥檚 trademarks inures solely to 爱游戏体育鈥檚 benefit and any such use must comply with these Guidelines and your license agreement, if any, with 爱游戏体育.

No third party, including any licensee, is permitted to claim or assert any ownership rights in 爱游戏体育鈥檚 trademarks and/or utilize any brand, in any manner, that is confusingly similar to 爱游戏体育鈥檚 trademarks.

At 爱游戏体育鈥檚 discretion, 爱游戏体育 reserves the right to approve or deny any request to use 爱游戏体育鈥檚 trademarks. If 爱游戏体育 determines that any third party鈥檚 proposed use of the 爱游戏体育 trademark may lead any person or entity to believe that 爱游戏体育 is the source of the product or service, then 爱游戏体育 will deny such third party鈥檚 request for use of the trademark. Any use of the trademark(s) without 爱游戏体育鈥檚 prior written consent may be an infringement on 爱游戏体育鈥檚 rights to the trademark(s) and may constitute unfair competition in violation of federal and state laws.

Note: Any reproduction of any 爱游戏体育 logo is strictly prohibited under fair use.

Any use of an 爱游戏体育 trademark in association with a non-爱游戏体育 product or service without express permission is not considered fair use. For example, any advertisement for an LSAT^庐 tutoring company is not allowed under fair use.
