A trademark can be a word, phrase, symbol, or design that distinguishes the source of the goods or services. It can also, as a trade dress, be the appearance of a product or its packaging, including size, shape, color, texture, graphics, and appearance (e.g, retail store or website).
The following is a non-exhaustive list of Apple’s trademarks and service marks.
When using the marks in publications that will be distributed only in the United States, include the appropriate TM, SM, or ® symbol on first use. For publications that will be distributed outside the United States, do not include trademark symbols. Instead use the appropriate trademark attribution notice, for example: Mac and OS X are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
The list also includes a suggested generic term for each trademark. For all publications, include an appropriate generic term after the trademark the first time it appears. Thereafter, the generic term should appear frequently with the trademark. (These generic terms are only suggestions, and there may be other words that are equally appropriate.)
Trademarks are adjectives, and should not be made into verbs or made plural or possessive.
For more information on how to use Apple’s trademarks, refer to the document titled, “Guidelines for Using Apple Trademarks,” or contact the Trademark team.
The absence of a product or service name or logo from this list does not constitute a waiver of Apple’s trademark or other intellectual property rights concerning that name or logo.
