Male Enhancement Over 50.com Legal Disclaimer Regarding Comparative Reviews On This Site
- It is well settled in U.S. Federal Law that no infringement of copyright or intellectual property exists when registered trademarks of any brand or company are used according to both “Nominative Use” and “Fair Use.”
- Nominative use, also “nominative fair use”, is a legal doctrine that provides an allowed defense to trademark infringement by which a person may use the trademark of another as a reference to describe the other product, or to compare it to their own.
- Fair use is a US legal doctrine that permits limited use of copyrighted material without acquiring permission from the rights holders.
The nominative use test essentially states that one party may use or refer to the trademark of another if:
1 The product or service cannot be readily identified without using the trademark (e.g. trademark is descriptive of a person, place, or product attribute).
2 The user only uses as much of the mark as is necessary for the identification (e.g. the words but not the font or symbol).
3 The user does nothing to suggest sponsorship or endorsement by the trademark holder. This applies even if the nominative use is commercial. - Furthermore, if a use is found to be nominative, then by the definition of non-trademark uses, it can not dilute the trademark. Nominative use does not require that ownership of the trademark be acknowledged.
- There is nothing illegal about using any registered trademark for the limited use to discuss a product in a comparative way on a news review site in a comparative context. This is because there is no other way to review competitive products without identifying them by name.
- Any and all photos of competitor products shown on Male Enhancement Over 50.com are unique photos of our personally owned products. The products shown are personally owned by Male Enhancement Over 50.com, and photos shown are unique photos of these owned products. Because these are unique photos of our own owned products, we own the rights to any photos shown of competitor products. Thus, there is no copyright infringement of intellectual property in any way.
- Because all content on this website is therefore 100% original content there is no legal basis for any party to request removal of any post, page, article, or photo on maleenhancementover50.com under Section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”)
