Westmor Logo
To consistently identify trademarks and service marks, a (mostly) international system of demarcation has been established. In most countries, the TM symbol is recognized as identifying an unregistered trademark. Most countries have also adopted the ® symbol to identify a registered trademark or service mark. At Superior and Westmor, a "TM" means we are filing to protect the name. The "®" symbol means protection has been granted by the patent and trademark office of the countries where we sought protection.

A trademark is a symbol, slogan, design, word, or combination of elements that identifies a party's goods or services. The purpose of a trademark is to distinguish these goods or services from someone else's.
A trademark can even be a color, such as T-Mobile's vibrant pink. Examples of popular trademarks include the NBC three-toned chime, the Nike "swoosh," the McDonald's "golden arches," and the shape of the Coca-Cola bottle.
When referring to a mark, make sure you pass the “ACID” test of proper use:
Adjective followed by noun
Consistent
Identification
Distinctive
If you use our logo or product names, this training video is for you! We recorded it in spring of 2022 to train our market-facing employees on proper usage. The video covers:
What is a trademark?
Proper and improper usage of our logo
Stop using the wrong color orange, please!
Using our trademarked product names correctly
Where to find resources
Examples of misuse in our own materials
Trademarks are proper adjectives. Not nouns. Not verbs. A mark should always be used as an adjective followed by the generic noun that defines the product or service. A mark is a company brand name, not a product or service itself. As adjectives, marks should not be used as plurals or in the possessive form.
Examples
Correct: We use a TeleStacker® Conveyor to build stockpiles.
Correct: Our Blueline® Bobtail is equipped with automatic start.
Incorrect: We use a TeleStackers to build stockpiles.
Incorrect: Our Blueline is equipped with automatic start.
Are these important distinctions? Yes. Think of the following: Elevator. Kerosene. Corn Flakes. Yo-Yo. Each of these well-known product names was once a famous trademark with rights exclusively owned by a company. Today, due to misuse of the marks, they are merely generic product names in some jurisdictions with no accompanying trademark rights.
Trade names are proper nouns, not adjectives. Consequently, trade names need not be followed by generic nouns.

Businesses use many styles to represent their marks. Thus, it is important that your references to a particular mark are accurate and consistent. The mark should be represented the same way each time. For example, if a mark is represented in all capital letters, you should consistently use all capital letters when referencing that mark.
Examples
PowerStacker® Conveyor
SpinGuard® Seal Technology
By the way...
...we dropped the capital "M" in Westmor back in 2008.
Correct: Westmor Industries
