Trademark Usage

Our Trademarks

IronGlove Studio, LLC owns and maintains a portfolio of trademarks, including our company name, logo, and distinctive brand elements. These assets are central to our identity and reputation. Our primary trademarks include:

  • IronGlove Studio®
  • The IronGlove Studio® logo (with the ® symbol)
  • IronMaps™
  • The IronMaps™ logo (with the ™ symbol, where applicable)

Proper Trademark Grammar and Usage

Trademarks must be used as adjectives describing products or services, never as nouns or in possessive or plural forms. Proper usage preserves our legal rights.

Correct Usage:
  • Use trademarks as adjectives, not nouns: "IronGlove Studio® software" (not just "IronGlove Studio®" alone), "IronMaps™ platform"
  • Avoid possessive forms: "The trademarks of IronGlove Studio®" or "IronGlove Studio® trademarks" (not "IronGlove Studio®'s trademarks"), "capabilities of IronMaps™"
  • Do not pluralize trademarks: "IronGlove Studio® services" (not "IronGlove Studios®"), "IronMaps™ products"
  • Use the exact spelling, capitalization, and spacing of the trademark
Incorrect Usage:
  • Using the trademark as a noun: "We use IronGlove Studio®" (instead use: "We use IronGlove Studio® software")
  • Using possessive forms: "IronGlove Studio®'s features" (instead use: "features of IronGlove Studio® software")
  • Changing the trademark in any way: "Iron Glove," "Ironglove," or "Iron-Glove", "Iron Maps," "ironmaps,"

Proper Usage Requirements

When referencing our company, the first mention in any content must appear as "IronGlove Studio®" with the registered trademark symbol. After this first proper reference, subsequent mentions may use "IronGlove" without the registered trademark symbol.

Logo Usage

Logos for IronGlove Studio® and IronMaps™ must always be used as provided by IronGlove Studio, LLC, without alteration or separation of components. The trademark or ™ symbol must remain visible and correctly positioned.

The logos include our name "IronGlove Studio®" and "IronMaps™" as an integral part of its design. Third parties may not extract, separate, or use any component of the logo independently, including graphical elements without the accompanying name and registered trademark symbol. Only IronGlove Studio, LLC is authorized to use logo components separately for internal purposes.

Spacing and Visibility

Adequate spacing must be maintained around our marks to ensure visibility and recognition. Our logo should never appear smaller than 200px in width and 150px in height to maintain legibility of both the design and the registered trademark symbol.
