Ownership

Groq Marks, including GROQ, GroqCloud, GroqChat, GroqConsole, and other GROQ-formative marks, logos, icons, product names, and any brand features - are proprietary assets owned by Groq. GROQ is a trademark or registered trademark of Groq, Inc. in the U.S. and/or other countries. Nothing in this policy transfers ownership. If you are unsure whether a mark falls under Groq Marks, contact us at [email protected]

No Use Without Permission

Except for limited “nominative fair use”, you must not use Groq Marks without prior written permission from Groq. Any permission granted is limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable at will. We may change or terminate permissions at any time.

Core Usage Rules

Reach out to Groq at [email protected] for a copy of its Brand Guidelines.

Nominative Fair Use

You may refer to Groq or Groq products by name (e.g., product compatibility, factual comparisons) without permission if the reference is truthful, necessary to identify Groq, limited to word marks (no logos), and does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation. Include proper attribution.

Prohibited Uses

You may not:

  • Suggest partnership, certification, or endorsement by Groq without written approval.
  • Use Groq Marks in a way that is defamatory, obscene, unlawful, or misleading, or that disparages Groq within a reasonable judgment.
  • Use Groq logos in ads, packaging, UI, or signage without a license from Groq.
  • Create or register confusingly similar marks, names, or domains.

Truthful Statements

For truthful statements, ensure accuracy and add a clear, proximate disclaimer such as: “[Your Product or company] is not affiliated with or endorsed by Groq, Inc.” Claims of performance or comparisons must be verifiable and not misleading.

Attribution Statement

On materials that reference or use Groq Marks (including nominative fair use), include an attribution line, e.g.: “Groq is a trademark of Groq, Inc. and/or its affiliates.”

Badges and Special Programs

Certain marks (e.g., partner and developer badges) are available only under separate written program terms.
