<h1>Tor Trademark Frequently Asked Questions</h1>

|
|
<h2>How can I use the name "Tor"?</h2>
|
|
<p>The Tor Project encourages developers to use the name Tor in ways that
|
|
do not confuse the public about the source of anonymity software and
|
|
services. If you are building open-source non-commercial software or
|
|
services that incorporate or work with The Tor Project's code, you may
|
|
use the name “Tor” in an accurate description of your work. We ask you
|
|
to include a link to the official Tor website
|
|
<a href="https://www.torproject.org/">https://www.torproject.org/</a> so users can verify the original source of
|
|
Tor for themselves, and a note indicating that your project is not
|
|
sponsored by The Tor Project. For example, “This product is produced
|
|
independently from the Tor® anonymity software and carries no guarantee
|
|
from The Tor Project about quality, suitability or anything else.”</p>
|

|
|
<h2>Can I use the Tor onion logo?</h2>
|
|
<p>If you're making non-commercial use of Tor software, you may also use
|
|
the Tor onion logo (as an illustration, not as a brand for your
|
|
products). Please don't modify the design or colors of the logo. You
|
|
can use items that look like the Tor onion logo to illustrate a point
|
|
(e.g. an exploded onion with layers, for instance), so long as they're
|
|
not used as logos in ways that would confuse people.</p>
|
|

|

|
|
<h2>Can I use the word "Tor" as part of the name of my product or my domain name?</h2>
|
|
<p>We recommend that you don't do this, but rather find a name that will
|
|
accurately identify <i>your</i> products or services. Remember that our goal
|
|
is to make sure that people aren't confused about whether your product
|
|
or project is made or endorsed by The Tor Project. Creating a new brand
|
|
that incorporates the Tor brand is likely to lead to confusion.</p>
|
|
|
|
<a id="enforcing"></a>
|
|
<h2>Does this mean you're enforcing trademark rights?</h2>
|
|
<p>The Tor Project is a non-profit corporation organized to research and
|
|
develop the Tor anonymity software and network. We don't want to be
|
|
trademark bullies, but we will use trademark to protect the public's
|
|
ability to recognize Tor Project software. Trademark law helps us to assure
|
|
that the name is used only in connection with genuine Tor anonymity
|
|
software and for accurate description of software and services.
|
|
After all, to protect their anonymity securely, computer users must be
|
|
able to identify the software they are using, so they can account
|
|
properly for its strengths and weaknesses. Tor has become well-known as
|
|
a software package and associated network of onion-routing anonymizing
|
|
proxies, with online documentation, instructions for strengthening
|
|
anonymity protection, and warnings that even at this stage it remains
|
|
experimental software. We work with developers to improve the software
|
|
and network and actively encourage researchers to document attacks to
|
|
help us strengthen its anonymity protection further. We distribute the
|
|
software itself freely, but require correct attribution. </p>

<h2>What if I produce non-open source, commercial products based on
|
|
Tor?</h2>
|
|
<p>Contact us, and let's talk.</p>
