It is the only trademark that may be used to represent and differentiate our enterprise and our offerings worldwide. Available to IBM employees for Corporate approved business purposes only. Use of the 8-bar IBM logo by 3 rd parties, e.g., Business Partners, is VERY selective IBM is a SPONSOR of an event (sometimes if IBM is a speaker, etc) IBM employee must sponsor the 3 rd party and make the request.

16 Co-marketing definition Co-Marketing is any marketing collaboration between IBM and a Business Partner. There are two major forms: 1.IBM prepares materials for Business Partners where the Business Partner is understood to be the source and Business Partner branding is employed. 2.Business Partner prepares the materials using the Business Partner s branding, and then submits materials to IBM for review and approval. In both cases, the Business Partner is considered to be the source and Business Partner branding, voice and call to action are used, regardless of IBM s contribution and participation. 16

17 Co-marketing The Business Partner is clearly and easily identified as the source. IBM s trademarks, if used, are placed within content that explains the scope and nature of the relationship between IBM and the other company. Another company may not use or feature the IBM trademarks, trade names or trade dress unless licensed to do so. 17
