shall send a copy of a representative item showing each proposed use to,
and obtain written approval from, the Manager of the Medal program, Room
MDW 10D44, USPTO, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, VA 22313. The Manager
of the Medal program may grant such approval in her sole discretion. In
addition, after approval is obtained, Licensee shall abide by the
following guidelines:

> \(A\) The Licensor considers the name \"National Medal of
> Technology®\" and the Medal logo to be registered trademarks and
> service mark, and holds them out to the public as such. The name and
> logo are registered as trademarks (U.S. Registration Nos. 1,790,306
> and 1,790,362) and as a service mark (U.S. Registration No. 1,790,773)
> with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Licensee in
> using the name \"National Medal of Technology®\" and the Medal logo
> shall clearly indicate that they are federally registered with the
> United States Patent and Trademark Office and that they are the
> property of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Such indication of
> registration shall be in the form of the ® designation, including,
> where possible, the words \"The National Medal of Technology is a
> federally registered trademark and service mark of the U.S. Department
> of Commerce.\"
>
> \(B\) The presence of the name and/or logo should not be portrayed as
> an endorsement or recommendation of the recipient or any of its
> products or services. For example, the name and/or logo shall not
> appear as a label or stamp on the product of the recipient, or in an
> advertisement for a product or service. The name and/or logo can be
> used in connection with announcements or advertisements produced by
> the Licensee or under its direction (including films and printed
> materials) which state that the individual(s) or company received the
> Medal, describe the accomplishments for which the recipient was
> awarded the Medal, or promote only the Medal or Medal program. Also,
> the name and/or logo can be used on replicas, foil stickers, pins and
> similar objects, so long as they are not accompanied by written
> materials or oral statements promoting particular products or services
> of the Licensee or any related business entity. Replicas of the Medal
> may display a duplicate of the front side, and may use the reverse
> side for the name or logo of the recipient(s) of the Medal (either
> individual(s) or entity) or other information, so long as no product
> or service promotion or endorsement is implied. If the corporate logo
> or recipient\'s name is so used, it must state the year in which the
> Medal was awarded. The reverse side of the Medal, which bears a
> Presidential insignia, cannot be duplicated.
>
> \(C\) It must be clear that the Medal recipient(s), and not a
> particular product or service, received the Medal.
>
> \(D\) Any use of the name and/or logo by Medal recipients must clearly
> indicate the year in which the Medal was awarded, and the name of the
> individual(s) or company receiving the award, and the activity for
> which the award was granted. Exceptions to this requirement may be
> obtained only upon the written agreement of the Manager of the Medal
> program.
>
> \(E\) To maintain a clear image, the logo should be reproduced
> photographically from the original art that is provided. Additional
> copies of the original art can be obtained from the Manager of the
> Medal program.

(F) The Medal is bronze in color with an antique finish. Therefore, a
    bronze

color is recommended, but not required, for reproductions.

> \(G\) Replicas and other likenesses of the logo may be distributed to
> the public including, but not limited to, suppliers, customers and
> other individuals or entities related to the business operations of
