Trademarks

Novoxel believes in firm and effective trademark protection.  Thus not only patients and professional distributors, but also the public, rely upon trademarks to indicate uncompromising levels of trusted quality, high standards  and safety.

Accordingly, Novoxel believes that strict trademark registration and relentless enforcing of its Intellectual Property rights are essential, not only to enable confident commercial decisions and encourage fair competition, but also to protect the health and safety of patients worldwide.

Trademarks must therefore be used properly. As such, please follow these guidelines for legally permitted use of Novoxel’s trademarks in all communications, documents and electronic messages. Third-party use of Novoxel’s trademarks requires a specific license or prior written permission from Novoxel, in particular Mezotix and Mesotix trademarks (*).

You may refer to Novoxel products and services by their associated Novoxel trademarks as long as such references are truthful, fair and not misleading, and comply with the following guidelines:

• In the United States, use the appropriate trademark symbol “®” and trademark acknowledgment “™” of Novoxel’s ownership of the marks in question, whether word marks or logos,  in the first appearance of the trademark in a headline, and/or the first prominent use and first appearance in the body of a text. Outside the United States, use the appropriate trademark attribution notice, for example, “Novoxel and Tixel are trademarks of Novoxel Ltd., registered in the U.S. and other countries.”
• Do not incorporate Novoxel trademarks (of any kind, including word marks and/or logos) into your own product names, service names, trademarks, logos or company names, and do not adopt marks or logos that are confusingly similar to Novoxel’s marks.
• Novoxel trademarks should always be used as an adjective and never as a noun.
• Never use a Novoxel trademark descriptively or as a play on or pun on the trademark in taglines and/or headlines when referring to the goods and/or services associated with such trademark.
• Never use a Novoxel trademark as an integrated word of a sentence and never hyphenate or abbreviate Novoxel trademarks.
• Never incorporate Novoxel trademarks or any part thereof into a third party’s company name, service, product brand name or model number.

Please note that such guidelines may be modified by Novoxel from time to time at Novoxel's sole discretion.

(*) A third party, German company Ecomedic GmbH, owns an earlier German and EU trademark "mesotix". The European Union Intellectual Property Office has decided in a first instance decision that the trademark "mesotix" of Ecomedic GmbH was filed in bad faith and thus has to be cancelled from the register. The decision is not yet final, appeal proceedings are still ongoing. In Germany, parallel cancellation proceedings due to bad faith are ongoing at the German Patent and Trademark Office."
