Trademark Usage Guidelines

To maintain the integrity and distinctiveness of our marks, all third parties referencing Cup Source trademarks must adhere to the following guidelines:

Permitted Uses

• Referencing Cup Source or our products in editorial, news, or informational content where such reference is necessary and accurate.
• Identifying Cup Source as a supplier or partner in business directories, press releases, or marketing materials — provided the use is factual and non-deceptive.
• Using our registered marks to describe genuine Cup Source products (e.g., "Cup Source® paper cups").

Prohibited Uses

• Using any Cup Source mark as a trademark, service mark, business name, domain name, or product name without express written consent.
• Modifying, altering, or distorting any Cup Source mark in any way.
• Using our marks in a manner that implies endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship by Cup Source where none exists.
• Using our marks in metatags, ad keywords, or other digital marketing to divert customers from Cup Source.
• Registering any domain name or social media handle containing "Cup Source" or any confusingly similar variation.

Proper Formatting

1. First/Leading Mention: Always use the full mark with the appropriate symbol — Cup Source® (for registered marks) or Trade Name™ (for unregistered marks).
2. Subsequent Uses: The ® or ™ symbol may be omitted, but the mark must still be capitalized and styled correctly.
3. Adjectival Use: Trademarks must always be used as adjectives modifying a generic noun (e.g., "Cup Source® cups," not "Cup Sources®").
4. Never Pluralize or Verbify: Marks must not be used as plurals or verbs (e.g., do not use "Cup Sourced" or "Cup Sources").
5. Legend Disclaimer: When using a Cup Source mark, include the following legend: "Cup Source® is a registered trademark of Cup Source, LLC. Used with permission. All rights reserved."
