Meshtastic® is a registered trademark of Meshtastic LLC. Meshtastic software components are released under various licenses, see [GitHub](https://github.com/meshtastic) for details. No warranty is provided - use at your own risk.
## Meshtastic Trademark Policy
## Licensing
You are hereby granted a two-year, non-exclusive license to use the Meshtastic® logo and trademark on your products or projects, in accordance with our [trademark guidelines](/docs/legal/licensing-and-trademark#meshtastic-trademark-policy--brand-guidelines). While there is no fee for this usage, we suggest allocating $1 per unit sold to a fund that will eventually support Meshtastic. This contribution, though not mandatory, is greatly appreciated.
Please ensure the inclusion of the following statement in your support documentation:
> Meshtastic® is a registered trademark of Meshtastic LLC. Meshtastic software components are released under various licenses, see GitHub for details. No warranty is provided - use at your own risk.
Alternatively, if you prefer, you can use our community project logos, "M-Powered" and "M-PWRD", which are specifically designed for projects that utilize Meshtastic technology. These logos offer a straightforward way to show compatibility with our platform without needing a trademark grant. For more information on these logos, including usage guidelines and design files, please refer to [Community Project Logos: M-Powered & M-PWRD](/docs/legal/licensing-and-trademark#community-project-logos-m-powered--m-pwrd).
## Meshtastic Trademark Policy & Brand Guidelines
Meshtastic, and Meshtastic logo ("Meshtastic Logo"), either separately or in combination, are hereinafter referred to as "Meshtastic Trademarks" and are trademarks of the Meshtastic LLC. Except as provided in these guidelines, you may not use the Meshtastic Trademarks or any confusingly similar mark as a trademark for your product, or use the Meshtastic Trademarks in any other manner that might cause confusion in the marketplace, including but not limited to in advertising, on websites, or on software. In fact, the law obligates trademark owners to police their marks and prevent the use of confusingly similar names by third parties. If you have questions about this policy, please contact the Trademark Supervisor by enquiring at [trademark@meshtastic.org](mailto:trademark@meshtastic.org).
