interest in and to any Contributions contributed or deposited by Contributor
hereunder, including all Copyright Rights and patent rights embodied therein,

2.8 RECIPIENT UNDERSTANDS THAT ALTHOUGH EACH CONTRIBUTOR AND
OSCI GRANTS THE LICENSES SET FORTH HEREIN, NO ASSURANCES ARE
PROVIDED BY ANY CONTRIBUTOR OR OSCI THAT ANY OSCI RELEASE OR ANY
CONTRIBUTION, EITHER ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH ANY OTHER
CONTRIBUTION, DOES NOT INFRINGE THE PATENT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY OTHER ENTITY. MOREOVER, NO ASSURANCES

CLAIMS BROUGHT BY ANY OTHER ENTITY BASED ON INFRINGEMENT OF
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR OTHERWISE. In addition, as a condition
to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby
assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights

5. INDEMNIFICATION
Any Recipient which Distributes any Contribution and/or OSCI Release (a "Distributor")

like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of Contributions
OSCI Documentation and OSCI Releases, a Distributor shall Distribute such

losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and
other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the
extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Distributor, including but not limited to
the terms and conditions under which Distributor offered such Contributions, OSCI
Documentation and/or OSCI Releases in connection with its Distribution thereof. The
obligations in this Section 5 do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual
or alleged intellectual property infringement of any Contribution, OSCI Documentation or
OSCI Release. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: (a) promptly notify
the Distributor in writing of such claim, and (b) allow the Distributor to control, and
cooperate with the Distributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations.
The Indemnified Contributor may participate in the defense of any such claim at its own
expense.
For example, a Recipient might include a Contribution in a commercial product offering,
Product X. That Recipient is then a Distributor. If that Distributor then makes
performance claims, or offers warranties, support, or indemnity or any other license
terms related to Product X, those performance claims, offers and other terms are such
Distributor's responsibility alone. Under this Section 5, the Distributor would have to
defend claims against the Contributors related to those performance claims, offers, and
other terms, and if a court requires any Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the
Distributor must pay those damages.
6. NO WARRANTY

CONTRIBUTORS OR OSCI SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
(INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY
THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR

Trademark Usage Policy
I. LIST OF MARKS
1. Open SystemC
2. Open SystemC Initiative
3. OSCI
4. SystemC
5. SystemC Initiative
6. All logos that incorporate the foregoing word marks
II. PROPER USE OF MARKS
Trademarks and service marks function as adjectives and generally should not be used as
nouns or verbs. Accordingly, as often as possible, the Marks should be used as adjectives
immediately preceding the generic noun that refers to the service in question. For example:
The SystemC® software
The OSCI® LRM
No Possessives or Plurals. Since they are not nouns, the Marks should never be used in the
possessive or plural forms. For example, it is not appropriate to write “SystemC’s software.”
No Use as Verbs or as Puns. The Marks should never be used as verbs or as puns.
III. PROPER ATTRIBUTION
Trademark ownership is attributed in two ways, with the use of a symbol (TM, SM, ®) after the mark
and with a legal legend, usually found at the end of a document following the copyright notice.
Following are OSCI’s rules for symbols and legends to attribute the Marks:
Symbols:
Which Symbol Do I Use?
The Marks generally function as trademarks rather than servicemarks. Unless you are
specifically directed otherwise, please use the ® symbol after the Marks.
Where Do I Place the ® Symbol?
The ® symbol is placed immediately after the mark, either in superscript or subscript.
When Do I Use the Symbol?
The ® symbol is to be used after the Marks in the following instances:
Most Prominent Uses: A ® symbol is required after prominent uses of the Marks, e.g., in the
headlines and large print text of web pages, advertisements, other promotional materials and
press releases, except where space limitations or specific style considerations prevent
compliance with this requirement.
First Use in Text: A ® symbol is required after the first use of each Mark in text, e.g. advertising
copy or the body of press releases, even though the symbol may have already appeared in the
headline or after another prominent use of the mark in the same document.
All Logos: The ® symbol must appear after all logos incorporating the Marks.
IV. Legends
All Marks that appear on a web page or in a press release, advertisement or other written
material (whether in print or electronic form) must be attributed in an appropriate legend. The
legend may be presented in “mouseprint” but must be large enough to be read easily. Legends
generally appear at the end of a document or the bottom of a web page but may be placed
elsewhere, e.g. the inside cover of documentation.
The OSCI Legend: The following legend should be used in all materials in which any of the
Marks appear:
[Insert the Marks] are trademarks or registered trademarks of Open SystemC Initiative, Inc. in
the United States and other countries and are used with permission.
V. MARKS NEVER COMBINED
The Marks should never be combined with the marks of any business other than OSCI. The
Marks should always appear visually separate from any other marks appearing in the same
materials such that each mark creates a distinct commercial impression. It would, for instance,
not be appropriate to superimpose the logo of another business over any OSCI logo.
VI. LOGOS
Logos incorporating the Marks can only be used in the format provided to you by OSCI for
incorporation into your materials or web pages. The logos provided to you by OSCI cannot be
modified in any way without OSCI’s prior written approval. Logos copied from OSCI web pages
or other materials may not to be used. Please contact support@opensystemc.org to obtain
electronic files containing the OSCI logos and to ask any questions regarding the logos.
