Instructions on how to contact the company are sometimes included in the edition notice. Included also is often a rather unfriendly statement that any customer communication becomes the property of the company. Some technical publications list known trademarks in the edition notice. This includes both the company's own trademarks and the trademarks of other companies referenced in the book. With the explosion of new products in the high-tech world, and thus the explosion of trademarks, some publications essentially throw up their hands and insert a simple statement that any references to trademarked product names are owned by their respective companies.
Disclaimers See the section on edition notices , where disclaimers are usually tucked away.
Although many companies do list their own and other companies' trademarks in the edition notice , some prefer to list them on a separate page, just after the edition notice. Remember, you list only those trademarked product names that occur in that particular book. But again, these are directives of company attorneys unto which technical writers must resign themselves, however sadly. Warranties More legal stuff. However, you should be aware that companies sometimes maintain multiple versions of edition notices, safety notices, warranties, communication statements and other such.
