Using Network Development Group™ Trademarks

Last updated June 2017

These guidelines describe the proper use of trademarks owned and used by Network Development Group, Inc. (“NDG”). See below for a full list of NDG™ trademarks. When you reference NDG products and services in person, on the web, or in print, you must acknowledge the brand and intellectual property of NDG and its partners.

Network Development Group, Inc.

The company’s full name is Network Development Group, Inc. It may be referenced as Network Development Group or by the abbreviation NDG, each of which are trademarks of NDG. Preferred practice is to use the name Network Development Group™ in the first instance on the page and the full name or the abbreviation thereafter. The first instance of the NDG abbreviation on the page should include the ™ symbol.

NDG Courses

Use the full course name and certification alignment information as listed below in the first instance on a page:

  • NDG Linux Essentials™, aligned to LPI Linux Essentials Professional Development Certificate
  • NDG Introduction to Linux I™, aligned to LPI LPIC-1® 101 and CompTIA Linux+ LX0-103
  • NDG Introduction to Linux II™, aligned to LPI LPIC-1® 102 and CompTIA Linux+ LX0-104

Thereafter, you may refer to the course name alone (e.g. “NDG Linux Essentials”). Use the trademark symbol in the first instance and a trademark reference.

Do not refer to course names without the “NDG” prefix, or otherwise imply that any NDG course is provided by anyone other than NDG.

NETLAB+ Product Line

Use the trademark and the generic in the first instance on a page:

NDG NETLAB+® remote lab platform

You may use the abbreviated form NETLAB+ thereafter.

Additional Use Guidelines

  1. You may not use any domain name, social network page, company name, or product/service names that incorporate or are confusingly similar to any NDG trademarks, unless NDG has specifically agreed in writing. You also may not use any NDG trademarks as metatags.
  2. You may not use any NDG trademarks in a manner that would disparage NDG or any of its products or services.
  3. You may not abbreviate any NDG trademarks or combine the NDG trademarks with other marks unless authorized in writing.
  4. You may not use any logos, highly stylized fonts, or other graphic depictions that include any NDG trademarks unless authorized in writing. All logo use must follow these rules:
    • The NDG logo must link directly to the main NDG web site
    • The NDG logo must be of high quality and proper proportions
    • The logo must not be used as primary branding for a website or other marketing materials
  5. You should take appropriate steps to avoid portraying your organization as representing NDG.
  6. These guidelines apply to all users of NDG trademarks, including business partners and distributors.
