Trademark Requirements

These Trademark and Logo Usage Requirements ("Usage Requirements") set forth FICO's rules for third parties using or referring to FICO's brand names, trademarks, service marks, product and service names, logos, and slogans (collectively referred to as "FICO Marks"). They apply to all non-FICO parties using or making reference to FICO Marks unless a separate license agreement applies. Other requirements apply to FICO licensees and are set forth in a specific license agreement.

General

FICO's Marks are FICO's intellectual property and are important and valuable assets of the company. Any use of FICO Marks that is inconsistent with these Usage Requirements, or other unauthorized use of FICO Marks or marks that are confusingly similar to FICO Marks, may violate FICO's legal rights. FICO appreciates your compliance with these Usage Requirements and will take steps to protect the FICO Marks against improper use and infringement. FICO reserves the right to object to any use of FICO Marks (or anything confusingly similar to a FICO Mark) that FICO deems to be unlawful under the circumstances, even if that use is not expressly prohibited by these Usage Requirements.

Fair Use of FICO Marks

You may refer to FICO products and services by their appropriate FICO Mark (other than logos and stylized marks), so long as such references (a) are truthful, fair, and not misleading, and (b) comply with these Usage Requirements.

FICO Logos and Stylized Marks

You should never use FICO logos or stylizations of FICO Marks unless you have a license agreement or other explicit written permission from FICO to do so.

Proper Use of Trademark Symbols

Always use the proper trademark symbol (™, sm, or ®) immediately following at least the first reference to the trademark on any page.

The exception to the above rule is when the "FICO" name is used as our company name, as opposed to an identifier of one of our products or services. In this case you should not use the ® symbol.

Examples of Correct Uses of Some FICO Marks

The following examples illustrate the correct use of ™, ^sm, or ® and the use of the trademark as an adjective with the correct generic noun or phrase:

FICO® Blaze Advisor® business rules management system
FICO® Scores
FICO® Falcon® Fraud Manager
myFICO® service
FICO® TRIAD® Customer Manager

Check the list of FICO trademarks below to verify how the FICO Marks should appear.

Acknowledgment of Trademark Rights

Assuming your use of a FICO trademark is permitted, you should always acknowledge that FICO owns the trademark. If it is not clear from the context of the use of the FICO Mark (e.g., FICO® Scores), you should include a separate acknowledgment. The acknowledgment should appear in legible type in any materials in which a FICO Mark appears. The following language is acceptable:

"FICO and [Insert FICO Marks used] are trademarks and/or registered trademarks of Fair Isaac Corporation."

Materials that mention FICO only:
"FICO is a registered trademark of Fair Isaac Corporation."

Remember that the inclusion of a trademark symbol and acknowledgment does not turn an improper use of a FICO Mark into a proper use or entitle you to use any FICO Mark in a way prohibited by law or otherwise not allowed under these Usage Requirements.

Prohibitions

• Do not use any FICO Mark, and do not adopt a "look and feel" with respect to any publication or Web site, in a way that might cause confusion about the relationship between FICO and any other party or any non-FICO product or service (e.g., as to source, origin, sponsorship, or endorsement).
• Do not incorporate any FICO Mark into your own product names, service names, trademarks, logos, or company names, and do not adopt marks or logos that are confusingly similar to any FICO Marks.
• Do not use or reproduce any FICO logos unless you have explicit written permission to do so.
• Do not use any FICO Marks as a meta tag for your web pages.
• Do not use any FICO Mark or any confusingly similar words as your domain names or as parts of your domain names.
• Do not use any FICO Mark or any confusingly similar words as the alphabetic equivalent of a phone number (e.g., 1-800-GET-FICO).
• Do not use FICO Marks as Internet search "keywords" or in any other way that is intended to or has the effect of directing traffic to a non-FICO Web site.
• Do not state or imply that you have or are claiming rights in any FICO Mark.
• Do not use FICO Marks in any improper way that would disparage FICO, its subsidiaries, its products, or its services (i.e., unfair competition, false or misleading, etc.).
