QGISの商標とブランドのガイドライン ¶

We’re thrilled that you want to refer to either the QGIS project or the QGIS.ORG association and sincerely appreciate your help in spreading the word.

This page aims to provide you with all the information and resources you need to correctly use the QGIS brand assets.

Trademark Goals: Our main aim is to encourage those who do business using QGIS name and logo to:

• not misrepresent or bring disrepute to the QGIS project
• not present the QGIS project as their own work
• participate actively in the project and help us to improve QGIS

Trademark Protection: The QGIS name and logo are protected under European law from unauthorized and confusing uses of the trademark. You can find our trademark information at EUIPO.

QGIS trademarks, service marks, logos and designs, as well as other works of authorship that are eligible for copyright protection (collectively termed “Marks”) are valuable assets that QGIS.ORG needs to protect. QGIS.ORG does not permit all uses of QGIS Marks. QGIS.ORG provides these Trademark Usage Guidelines (“Guidelines”) to assist you in properly using our Marks in the specific cases that we do permit. The strength of our Marks depends, in part, upon consistent and appropriate use. We ask that you properly use and credit our Marks in accordance with these Guidelines. We reserve the right to change these Guidelines at any time solely at our discretion.

These Guidelines should be followed along with all QGIS’s rules and policies, posted on QGIS.ORG website or otherwise.

ユーザーグループ ¶

QGIS.ORG permits official QGIS user groups, to modify the QGIS logo and use the modified QGIS logo for non-commercial communications and projects. This permission is subject to continued compliance with these Guidelines, QGIS Trademark Guidelines and all other rules and policies. QGIS reserves the right to cancel or change this permission at any time at its sole discretion. If you would like to use a modified version of the QGIS logo, please submit your artwork for approval at trademark@qgis.org. Upon approval, you will receive a license agreement to sign before you may begin using the artwork.

QGIS.ORG also permits official user groups, to register a QGIS Top Level Domain (e.g. qgis.ch, qgis.dk etc.) according to the rules further down in this document.

Examples of use requiring permission ¶

Some uses of our trademark require the user to obtain permission. If you need permission, please fill out our form.

• Product names: If you plan to market a QGIS-based product or service to the public using a trademark or name that includes the word “QGIS”, such as “YourCompany QGIS” you are required to apply for and obtain a permission from the QGIS Project Steering Committee (QGIS-PSC). This is true whether or not you apply to register your trademark with a government. When developing and advertising QGIS-based products, we ask you to follow these guidelines:
  1. Don’t present your work as our work: If you provide a customized QGIS version, make it clear that your offer is a derivative product, and not the official QGIS version. Do this by adding your company or brand name to the product name and accompanying text explaining that your product is a derivative as needed.
  2. Don’t present our work as your work: Give credit to the QGIS project where due. Don’t hide the fact that your product is based on QGIS.
  3. 良い製品名の例には次のものがあります ：
     • YourCompany QGIS
     • YourCompany Desktop/Suite powered by QGIS
     • YourBrand powered by QGIS
     • YourBrand based on QGIS
  4. 悪い製品名の例には次のものがあります ：

• Domain names and websites: Proper use of our Marks on websites to name or accurately describe QGIS’s products, services or technology is permitted. The use of our Marks should not be misleading or likely to cause confusion as to whether the website is sponsored by or affiliated with QGIS or whether the products, services or technology are offered by QGIS. QGIS Reserves the right to request you to remove our mark from your domain name, web site or publication if we deem it’s use to be inappropriate.
  1. Companies, products, and commercial projects cannot use a qgis.tld (top level domain): Any principal or secondary level domain name, with or without commercial intent, should not be identical to or virtually identical to any of our Marks.
  2. 会社、製品、商業プロジェクトはなるべく ****qgis****.xxxx を使用しないでください：当社のマークを含むドメイン名は登録しないでください。ドメイン名に商標または類似の所有権を主張しないでください。たとえば、「QGIStech.com」、「QGIS-group.com」、「QGISexperts.com」は許可を求めない限り許可されません。この方針に違反すると、法的措置が取られる可能性があります。その他の点では、Webサイトはドメイン名登録ポリシーおよび商標権の侵害および希薄化に関する適用法を遵守する必要があります。
  3. 例外:
     • QGIS.ORG voting members should use their country TLD (QGIS.ch, QGIS.dk, …)
     • 非営利プロジェクトではqgis.xxxxx（チュートリアルが無料の場合はqgis.tutorialsがこのカテゴリに入ります）を使用できますが、ドメインを登録する前に許可を求める必要があります。 QGIS.ORGは、ドメインを登録し、それを要求者によって提供されたネームサーバを指すように指示するか、そうするように要求者に指示することができます。

• Social Media: Any and all use of our Marks in connection with account names, profiles, avatars or handles on social media platforms is subject to the same guidelines set forth herein as for other uses. The use of any of our Marks in an account name, profile name, as an avatar, or in a handle on social media platforms requires a permission request.
