| 8 | +The Node.js trademarks, service marks, and graphics marks are symbols of the |
| 9 | +quality, performance, and ease of use that people have come to associate with |
| 10 | +the Node.js software and project. To ensure that the Node.js marks continue to |
| 11 | +symbolize these qualities, we must ensure that the marks are only used in ways |
| 12 | +that do not mislead people or cause them to confuse Node.js with other software |
| 13 | +of lower quality. If we don’t ensure the marks are used in this way, it cannot |
| 14 | +only confuse users, it can make it impossible to use the mark to protect |
| 15 | +against people who maliciously exploit the mark in the future. The primary goal |
| 16 | +of this policy is to make sure that this doesn’t happen to the Node.js mark, so |
| 17 | +that the community and users of Node.js are always protected in the future. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +At the same time, we’d like community members to feel comfortable spreading the |
| 20 | +word about Node.js and participating in the Node.js community. Keeping that |
| 21 | +goal in mind, we’ve tried to make the policy as flexible and easy to understand |
| 22 | +as legally possible. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +The OpenJS Foundation has a perpetual license to use the |
| 25 | +[Node.js marks](https://ip-policy.openjsf.org). |
| 26 | +For more details on using the Node.js mark, please read the |
| 27 | +[full policy](https://trademark-policy.openjsf.org). |

| 31 | +Guidelines for the visual display of the Node.js mark are described in |
| 32 | +the [Visual Guidelines](/static/documents/foundation-visual-guidelines.pdf). |
