If you have a written agreement with Google that specifically addresses how you may use its Brand Features, you don't need to go through the approval process here unless you want to do something other than what has been authorized in your existing agreement. Otherwise, the only time you can use Brand Features without advance written permission is if there is clear and express language on our website stating that you can use those Brand Features without first obtaining permission, such as is the case with our search boxes. 35 36 When you use any of our Brand Features, you must always follow the Rules for Proper Usage included in these Guidelines. In addition, Google may provide you with written requirements as to the size, typeface, colors, and other graphic characteristics of the Google Brand Features. If we provide these requirements to you at the time of our approval, you must implement them before using our Brand Features. If we provide these requirements to you after we initially gave our permission, you must implement them within a commercially reasonable timeframe. 37 38 ** Approval Process ** 39 40 To request approval, complete the [ Permission Request Form ](request.html) , and send it to us with the information specified in the form. Although we will try to respond within 10 business days, we cannot guarantee that, and you can't use Google Brand Features until we have expressly granted you approval. 41 42 The approval to use Google Brand Features is limited to the information provided in your request. If your anticipated use changes, before or after, Google grants approval, you must update your request accordingly. 43 44 Please note that we can only give you permission to use the Google Brand Features. We cannot give you permission to use any brand features belonging to third parties. 45 46 47 48 Trademark Basics 49 50 ** What is a trademark? ** 51 52 A trademark is a word, name, symbol or device (or a combination thereof) that identifies the goods or services of a person or company and distinguishes them from the goods and services of others. A trademark assures consumers of consistent quality with respect to those goods or services and aids in their promotion. 53 54 ** Why is it important to use marks correctly? ** 55 56 Rights to a trademark can last indefinitely if the owner continues to use the mark to identify its goods and services. If trademarks are not used properly, they may be lost and one of the company's most important assets may lose all of its value. Rights may be lost not only because of a trademark owner's improper use of the mark, but through improper use of the trademark by the public. 57 58 59 60 Rules for Proper Usage 1 [ ](http://www.google.com/) 2 3 # Google Permissions 4 5 * [ Home ](http://www.google.com/) 6 * [ About Google ](http://www.google.com/intl/en/about.html) 7 * [ Google Permissions ](index.html) 8 9 * [ Guidelines ](guidelines.html) 10 * [ Maps/Earth Guidelines ](geoguidelines.html) 11 * [ Brand Terms ](brand_terms.html) 12 13 [ Press Center ](/intl/en/press/) 14 [ Contact Us ](/intl/en/contact/) 15 16 ## Guidelines for Third Party Use of Google Brand Features 17 18 ### Use of Google Brand Features 19 20 ** General Information ** 21 22 Although we'd like to accommodate all the requests we receive from users who want to add a touch of Google to their sites, we are passionate about protecting the reputation of our brand as an objective and fair provider of search results. That means we have to turn down many requests because sites imply that Google is endorsing them or is otherwise affiliated with them. The same applies if Google's trademarks, logos, web pages, screen shots, or other distinctive features ("Google Brand Features" or "Brand Features") are associated with objectionable material, as determined by Google. 23 24 These Brand Features can be used only pursuant to these Guidelines, our [ Terms and Conditions ](brand_terms.html) , and for the specific purposes for which Google has given permission. If you have a written agreement with Google that specifically addresses how you may use its Brand Features, you don't need to go through the approval process here unless you want to do something other than what has been authorized in your existing agreement.

Some countries have severe criminal and civil penalties for improper use of the registration symbol. Therefore, don't use the registration symbol ((r)) in countries where the mark has not been registered. 87 65 88 If there is any question about usage, requests for clarification or permission may be

It is never OK for any of our brand features to be altered, edited or misrepresented. 21 22 All of our brand features are protected by applicable trademark, copyright and other intellectual property laws. If you would like to use any of them on your website, in an ad, in an article or book, or reproduce them anywhere else, you may need to first receive permission from Google. 23 24 First take a look at some these uses: 25 17 26 18 27 19 28 20 _ Find on this site: _ 29 * [ Logo or screenshots ](#) 30 * [ Search Box ](#) 31 * [ Domain names ](#) 32 * [ Other brands ](#) 33 34 | [ Screenshots ](#screen) | [ Marketing/Advertising ](#ads) | [ Sponsorships ](#sponsor) | [ Holiday Logos (Doodles) ](#doodles) | [ Manufactured Items ](#manf) | [ Books/Print ](#books) | [ Film/TV ](#film) | 35 36 ### Google Logo or Screenshots 37 38 ** Screenshots ** 39 40 You don't need our permission when you want to use a standard, unaltered Google screenshot (an image of our homepage or search results page) in either print (book, magazine, journal, newspaper) or digital (web page, DVD, CD) formats for an instructive or illustrative purpose. Examples include screenshots of: 41 42 * a Google search results page 43 * search results indicating where sponsored links are 44 * an Advanced Search page 45 * search results for a query you show 46 47 This use must be unaltered: You can't superimpose graphics, photos, or ad copy on the screenshot or change the look of the screen-captured image in any other way. 48 49 Please note that using a screenshot of a Google search results page in connection with advertising your products or services (for instance, showing a top ranking on Google) is not considered instructive or illustrative, and therefore is not permitted. 50 51 Screenshots of imagery from Google Maps and Google Earth are special cases. Please refer to the [ Google Maps/Earth guidelines ](geoguidelines.html) for questions on their permitted use. 52 53 * _ Acceptable Screenshot _ 54 [ view larger image ](branding_permitted2.gif) 55 [ ](branding_permitted2.gif) 56 * _ Acceptable Screenshot _ 57 [ view larger image ](branding_permitted.gif) 58 [ ](branding_permitted.gif) 59 * _ Unacceptable Screenshot _ 60 [ view larger image ](branding_notpermitted.gif) 61 [ ](branding_notpermitted.gif) 62 63 21 64 22 65 23 66 24 ** When Do I Need Permission to Use Google Brand Features? ** 25 26 Because we are passionate about protecting the reputation of our brands, we are very careful about how our trademarks, logos, web pages, screenshots or other distinctive features, are used. It is never OK with us for any of our brand features to be altered, edited or misrepresented. 27 28 All of our trademarks, logos, web pages, screen shots and other distinctive features ("Google Brand Features") are protected by applicable trademark, copyright and other intellectual property laws. If you would like to use any of Google Brand Features on your website, in an ad, in an article or book, or reproduce them anywhere else, you may need to first receive permission from Google. We've tried to make this process as painless as possible. 29 30 ** Instructive/illustrative screenshots ** 31 The one instance when you don't need to ask our permission is when you want to use a standard, unaltered Google screenshot in a print (book, magazine, journal, newspaper) or electronic (web page, DVD, CD) format _ for an instructive or illustrative purpose _ . This must be an _ unaltered _ --meaning there are no graphics, photos, or advertising copy superimposed on the screenshot you plan to use, nor have you changed the look of the image in any way--image from most of our products (see special cases below). Examples of instructive or illustrative purposes are: using a screenshot of a Google search results page to show where the sponsored links are located or using a screenshot of an Advanced Search page to illustrate how to conduct an advanced search. Using a screenshot of a Google search results page in connection with advertising your products or services (for instance, trying to show a number one ranking on Google) is not considered instructive or illustrative and therefore is not permitted. 32 33 If you have any concern that your intended re-use does not fall under this exception, please do get in touch with us by filling out the Permission Request Form after you have read the Guidelines for Third Party Use (the "Guidelines"). 34 35 _ Special cases: Google Maps and Google Earth _ 36 Two exceptions to the instructive/illustrative screenshots described above are Google Maps and Google Earth. You must get written permission from us to reuse any images from these two products, because we do not own the copyright to all of the imagery or information supplied on these platforms. In order to make use of any images associated with either Google Maps or Google Earth, please read the Guidelines and send in the Permission Request form. 37 38 Also, we will not consider any request for superimposing advertising or other imagery over a Google Map or Google Earth selection. 39 40 ** About high-resolution images ** 41 Please note that except in very specific cases, we are unable to produce custom high resolution screenshots, photos, logos, etc. We hope you will be able to find what you need [ here ](../press/images.html) . 42 43 ** All other uses ** 44 So now, if you have determined that you need to apply for permission to use Google Brand Features, please review the Guidelines, which provide an overview of the process and set forth certain things you cannot do. Those Guidelines will lead you to the Permission Request Form, which you need to complete and send to us. Please note that by signing that form, you are agreeing to both the Guidelines and the Google Brand Features Terms and Conditions, which you should carefully read, understand and agree with. 45 46 Thanks so much for your cooperation. 47 48 [ ** Go to the Guidelines. ** ](guidelines.html) 67 ** Marketing/Advertising Materials ** 49 68 50 69 We tend not to broadcast the fact that we have found a great partner, and therefore generally do not approve the use of our logo in third-party marketing materials. This includes online and offline advertising and collateral such as: 51 70 52 (c)2008 Google - [ Home ](/) - [ About Google ](/about.html) - [ We're Hiring ](/jobs/) - [ Site Map ](/sitemap.html) 71 * Case studies 72 * Client and referral lists 73 * Sales presentations 74 * Print, broadcast, outdoor or online ads 75 * Product demos 76 * Signage 77 * Trade show booths 53 78 79 Contact your Google business partner to discuss third-party marketing activities which we could permit. 80 81 We do occasionally refer to partners in our own online and offline marketing materials. Please note that partners promoted in this way do not receive any form of preferential treatment in the actual Google search results (which are generated automatically by computer algorithms) and inclusion on the Google website will not improve the partner's PageRank(tm). 82 83 ** Sponsorships ** 84 85 We typically do not approve the use of our logo for events we sponsor. Work with your Google contact to obtain permission for an exception to this policy. We have a separate policy for Google Grants recipients. 86 87 ** Holiday Logos (Doodles) ** 88 89 Our holiday logos (or doodles) are featured throughout the year on our homepage. We've created a gallery where you can enjoy them, but we generally don't grant permission for their use by others. We also do not grant permission for users to create and publish their own versions of the Google logo. 90 91 ** Manufactured Items ** 92 93 We get requests from lots of entrepreneurs who have imagined a new T-shirt design, a toy, software packaging, or another imaginative product that incorporates the Google logo or a Google product. Unfortunately, we cannot grant permission for these uses. 94 95 ** Books or Printed Materials ** 96 97 You don't need our permission when you want to use a standard, unaltered Google screenshot (an image of our homepage, a main product page, or search results page) in print (book, magazine, journal, newspaper) or digital (web page, DVD, CD) formats for an instructive or illustrative purpose. Examples include screenshots of: 98 99 * a Google search results page 100 * search results indicating where sponsored links are 101 * an Advanced Search page 102 * search results for a query you show 103 104 This use must be unaltered: You can't superimpose graphics, photos, or ad copy on the screenshot or change the look of the screen-captured image in any other way. 105 106 Regarding cover art, you cannot use the Google logo (or the name 'Google' using our typeface) on the cover of a publicly-available book or publication without our permission. 107 108 Screenshots of imagery from Google Maps and Google Earth are special cases. Please refer to the Google Maps/Earth guidelines for questions on their permitted use. 109 110 ** Film and TV ** 111 112 If you would like to use the Google logo in a commercial TV or film production, please submit your request using this [ Request for Permission form ](http://services.google.com/permissions/filmapplication) . 113 114 ### Google Search Box 115 116 If you'd like to use a Google search box on your website, we offer [ several options ](http://services.google.com/searchcode2.html?accept=on.#standard) .
