Dear LawGuru user:

I do believe your problem can be solved, but I would need more information about the products. I am unfamiliar with the brands you mentioned.

There are many ways to refer to trademarks for which you have not received permission. Let's assume that your product is a device changes Hewlett Packard (HP) black and white printers into color printers. The following are not violations of HP's trademark:

"We guarantee that our module is compatible with all major brand black and white laser printers, or your money back."

"Our module is compatible with other major brand printers. For information, check our web site at http://module.com or call our toll free number at 1888 888 8888."

Also, have you offered Handspring money in the form of royalties or a lump sum for use of their trademark? An agreement regarding compensation can sometimes be negotiated and signed by you and the trademark holder.

I invite you to visit my web site, where there is a link to an outline I wrote on Trademark and Copyright Basics.

Thank you for using LawGuru.

Sincerely,

Louise Aron

Attorney at Law
