The emblem of IEEE will be
protected by legal registration. The
guidelines for the use of the emblem and
"IEEE" are set forth under Section 6 of the IEEE
Policies, and the emblem and "IEEE" shall be
used only in connection with official
business of the IEEE. The IEEE emblem is a
trademark owned by the IEEE for the purpose of
indicating membership in the IEEE.
As owner of the mark, IEEE Headquarters makes
available to members membership pins
which bear the mark. IEEE Headquarters
also makes available to Sections, Societies, and
other IEEE organizational units,
letterheads, pennants, and other similar
material bearing the emblem. Any
form of use of the emblem by members,
either as individuals or as IEEE organizational
units, which is not supplied by the IEEE
Headquarters must be submitted for approval and
any form of use which has not received such
approval shall be considered as
unauthorized use of the emblem. The United
States Patent Office has issued
Registration No. 770,113 to IEEE for the
emblem. When used by members either as
individuals or as IEEE organizational
units, the emblem must be displayed with an R in
a circle as shown above. This is
required to give legal notice that the
emblem has been registered by lEEE.
The IEEE emblem may be incorporated in
the design of awards, or for similar
purposes, provided that the total emblem is used
without any modification. If the
emblem is modified in any manner, including
the addition of names or dates within the field
of the emblem, the basic IEEE
registration will have been violated. The
IEEE's legal counsel urges that we
maintain the integrity of the IEEE emblem.
Purchase of Emblem. Emblems to be
worn by members are to be purchasable
