VMware Trademark Guide
VMware Trademark Guide
This Trademark document is intended to provide guidance regarding the VMware brand names that tend to draw the greatest interest.
The first occurrence of a brand name in a document must include the trademark notifications (“TM” and “®”) that are indicated in
the left-hand column below. However, no notifications are necessary for subsequent occurrences of the brand name within the
same document.
Moreover, you must use the full brand name shown in the left-hand column for the first occurrence of a brand name. However, after
that first occurrence, you can use an approved short name/ or acromym that is included in the right-hand column. Note that most of
the approved short names consist of the complete name without the “VMware” portion. For example, “VMware vSphere®” becomes
“vSphere” after the first occurrence in a particular document.
Use only approved short names. Most importantly, do not use abbreviations such as VCOPS, VCHS, VCNS, VSOM, ITBM and SRM to
signify VMware products or services. Some of the abbreviations are being used informally, but should not be used in public-facing
communications.
A few brand names have received federal registrations for trademarks which consist of two or more words, so that the words cannot
be treated as separate marks.
It is not necessary to use the trademark notifications (“TM” and “®”) in titles, headlines, sub-headlines and FAQ questions. However,
apply the trademark notifications properly applied in the text that follows.
