1. 1. You may use OGC's best practice word marks in a descriptive sense in any media to identify OGC's products and services provided that you do not:

  • Use the marks without the correct acknowledgement statement and symbology, please refer to Annex1,, at the first instance of usage; 
  • Incorporate any such marks into a business name, service name or product name; 
  • Connect your company, product or service name in any way to such marks; 
  • Use the marks in any way that suggests a more general meaning (e.g. Use of "OGC Gateway" to describe project assurance more generally is incorrect use. OGC Gateway should only be used to describe OGC's proprietary form of project assurance); 
  • Use the marks in a way that is derogatory (to be determined at OGC's sole discretion); 
  • Change the marks in any way; 
  • Use the marks as a hyperlink
  • Use the marks in any way so as to suggest an association with OGC, its partners or its products and services; 
  • Use the marks in any way in the title or sub-title of any product in any media; or 
  • Use the marks in any way so as to suggest any official endorsement by OGC.

2. Any use of the Best practice marks not covered by paragraph 1 above would require written permission from OGC and in the first instance you should write setting out the proposed usage to OGC Service Desk.
