    Trademark usage guidelines

    Micron’s trademarks, service marks, trade dress, and logos (“Trademarks”) represent intellectual property rights owned by Micron and as such are valued assets of Micron. These Trademarks, whether registered or unregistered, must be used in accordance with these Trademark Usage Guidelines (“Guidelines”).

    Any use of a Micron Trademark must comply with applicable laws and requires strict compliance with these Guidelines. While in some instances wordmarks can be used without a license to truthfully convey information about Micron’s products or services or compatibility therewith as long as the use does not cause confusion as to source or affiliation, any other use of a Micron Trademark requires an appropriate license agreement. Micron’s logo marks can never be used by third parties without express authorization by Micron. Requests for a trademark license may be submitted to trademarks@micron.com. Upon approval, Micron will provide appropriate logo files for your use.

    By using any Micron Trademarks, you acknowledge that Micron is the sole owner of the Trademarks and agree not to interfere with Micron’s rights in the Trademarks, including challenging Micron’s use, registration of, or application to register such Trademarks. You agree that you will not harm, misuse, or bring into disrepute any Micron Trademarks and that the goodwill, if any, derived from your use of any Micron Trademarks exclusively inures to the benefit of and belongs to Micron. You may not use any Micron Trademarks in metatags, search fields, hidden text, or any other form that has the purpose or effect of diverting or confusing consumers without Micron’s prior written permission.

    Applicability of guidelines

    These Guidelines apply to Micron employees, customers, licensees, consultants, authorized resellers, outside vendors, reporters, and other third parties. Note that if you are a licensee of a Micron Trademark, the license agreement that you signed with Micron may contain specific usage guidelines that differ from those contained within these Guidelines, and in such case you should follow those specific guidelines provided within such license agreement. If you are a licensee, but have been provided no special guidelines, then follow these Guidelines.

    List of Micron trademarks

    The list of Micron Trademarks provided here may be updated with new information from time-to-time and without notice and should be referred to regularly. Note that the list may not be comprehensive, and the omission of a Micron Trademark from the list does not represent any waiver of any intellectual property rights of Micron in or to such Trademark. Other product names or trademarks, including those appearing on Micron’s websites, that are not owned by Micron are for identification purposes only and may be the registered or unregistered trademarks of their respective owners. No license or right is granted by Micron by implication, estoppel or otherwise to any such third-party names or trademarks or to the Micron Trademarks hereby.

    Use of “Micron” as a Trademark vs. Trade name

    “Micron” is not only a trademark used to identify Micron’s products and services; it also serves as Micron’s company name. Therefore, the word “Micron” is generally used in two (2) different ways: (i) as a trade name to identify Micron Technology, Inc. the company; or (ii) as a trademark to identify its various products. “Micron” is used as a trade name when Micron Technology, Inc. the company is taking some action or referenced as having some attribute (e.g. “Micron announced its earnings for this quarter”). When referenced as a trade name, there is no need to include a trademark symbol after “Micron”. “Micron” is used as a trademark when Micron is an adjective used as a brand name for its products (e.g. “Micron® NAND Flash devices are aimed at mobile and consumer applications”). When referenced as a trademark, include the proper trademark symbol after “Micron”.
