SUBJECT: Unauthorized Use Of Intel Corporation's
Corporate Logo
ACTION REQUESTED: Written Confirmation That
you Will Cease Unauthorized Use
PLEASE RESPOND BY: February 7, 1996
Dear Mr. Collins:
Intel Corporation monitors third party advertisements for misuses of our
corporate trademarks. It has come to our attention that you are using Intel's
Corporate Logo® on your World Wide Web page without our permission
and in an altered state (see attached copy). This is a alteration of our
Corporate Logo and an infringement of our trademark rights, and we request
that you immediately cease and desist further use of same.
Also, you use the designation "P6" in an Intel-related section
of your WWW page. This suggests to consumers that "P6" refers
to an Intel product or is an Intel trademark. Please note that no product
by that name is presently available from Intel. Currently, Intel's highest
performance processor is sold under the Pentium® Pro mark.
Lastly, when using Intel's trademarks, we ask that you refer to the following
guidelines
1 Always use Pentium trademark as an adjective describing an appropriate
noun. (i.e., Pentium® processor, Pentium® microprocessor, Pentium®
Pro chip or Intel486 chip.) Please note that the following are NOT acceptable
nouns: "CPU," "motherboard," "power," "system,"
"computer," "PC," "workstation," "class,"
"notebook," "server," "probe," "model."
2. Always use the appropriate trademark symbol ("Pentium® Processor")(Intel386
Processor).

Always use an appropriate acknowledgment line such as "Pentium is
a registered trademark and Intel386 and Intel486 are trademarks of Intel
Corporation."
Intel has invested a great deal of time, money, and effort in the development,
promotion, and use of our name and Corporate Logo. As a result, we have
gained a high level of public recognition worldwide and extensive goodwill,
and we must be vigilant in protecting these valuable corporate assets.
The Trademarks and Brands Group has learned from past experience that failure
to protect one's own marks may lead to significant loss for the corporation.
Please note that our intent is to protect our logos and trademarks and
not to prohibit you from using our trademarks correctly. A copy of Intel's
Trademark Usage Guidelines is enclosed for your reference. We trust that
it will assist you in the future.
We hope this situation can be amicably resolved and look forward to your
written confirmation by February 7, 1996 that you are complying
with the above requests to (1) cease use of the Intel Corporate Logo, and
any alteration or variation thereof and (2) cease use of the designation
"P6" when referring to Intel's Pentium Pro processor. Or, if
you prefer, simply sign the attached Read and Agreed where indicated to
confirm your compliance and return it to me.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please feel free to contact
me at (408) 765-8193.
Sincerely yours,
Erin H. Townley
