Brand governance
Trademark and brand use
Use the CHERI name and identity accurately, consistently and in accordance with the current Alliance policy.
Read the current policy first
CHERI is open technology, but use of its name and visual identity is governed by the CHERI Alliance. This page is a practical route to the official material, not permission and not a legal interpretation.
If this page and an official policy differ, the official policy controls.

<section id="name" markdown="1"> ## Referring to CHERI
You may need to name CHERI accurately when describing compatible research, software, hardware or services. Do not imply Alliance membership, endorsement, certification or origin unless that status is current and you are authorised to make the claim. Check the policy before using CHERI in a product, company, service or domain name. </section> <section id="logos" markdown="1">
Logos, artwork and certification claims
Use only official logo files supplied by the Alliance and do not redraw, recolour, crop, distort or combine them with other marks. The branding guidelines define approved colour, spacing, size and placement. Certification-style claims and marks have separate conditions; do not create your own equivalent.
