Intellectual Property Rights of Others
|
We respect the intellectual property rights of others, just as we expect others to respect our rights. Intellectual property includes trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks and patents, as well as industrial design rights. To respect intellectual property rights, we must follow these rules:
- Honor our obligations pursuant to any non-disclosure agreement and follow similar procedures for how we protect our own information. Only use customer confidential information for the purpose the customer specifies.
- Purchase or license all commercial software. Do not copy commercial software unless the software license expressly permits copying.
- Purchase multiple copies of trade journals and other similar periodicals. Do not copy significant portions of such materials unless prior permission has been obtained from the copyright holder.
- License the use of music or videos. Do not use commercial music or video CDs or DVDs in Timken’s business without first obtaining a license or other permission from the copyright holder.
- Seek and obtain permission before using others’ trademarks or logos.
