Can I use internal components&#39; logo on my product?
<p>I want to manufacture and sell an electronic device which I made using some TI components at home. Can I use TI's logo and other logos such as 'Burr-Brown audio' and their names on my product packaging?</p>

<p>You will need to obtain permission from the company whose logo you intend to use before using it.  Just because you use a product from that company in your devices doesn't necessarily give you permission to use their logo.</p>
<p>Many companies have co-marketing plans that you can apply to be a part of but generally you and your product must meet certain requirements in order to be a part of it.</p>

<p>Some companies have explicit usage guidelines. For example, <a href="https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/trademarks/trademarks.html" rel="noreferrer">Intel</a> dictates when you can and when you can't use the intel-logo on machines that you build.</p>
<p>These usage guidelines do grant a limited license and tell in part for what you need a further license.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You may refer to Intel products and services <em>by their associated Intel trademarks and service marks</em>, so long as such references (a) are truthful, fair, and not misleading, and (b) comply with these guidelines</p>
</blockquote>
<p>For example, you can not use the logos without a further license that allows it, as that doesn't comply with the guidelines under b:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Do not make unlicensed use of Intel's licensed logos, such as the Intel Inside® logo. Third-party use of Intel logos requires a license or written permission from Intel. If you are interested in obtaining a license to use an Intel mark or logo, contact your Intel marketing or sales representative, or your local Intel sales office</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>On the other hand, saying that the board is Intel when it is not, would violate the truthful part of the guidelines under a.</p>
<p>So by placing a sticker without the proper license or claiming it is a part that it isn't it, you become unlicensed and that means you are in violation of the contract of adhesion formed by the guidelines and possibly trademark rights.</p>
