Trademark Policy.
01 — Brand names and logos belong to their owners.
All third-party trademarks, service marks, trade dress, brand names, product names, company names and logos referenced on this Site are the property of their respective owners. Their use here does not imply any affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement or partnership between What AI Would Buy and the trademark holder.
02 — Why we use them — nominative fair use.
We rely on the doctrine of nominative fair use (and its EU counterparts under Art. 14 of the EU Trade Marks Directive) to refer to brands and products by their actual names. Specifically:
- The Site exists to report on which brands and products large language models recommend; this purpose cannot be served without naming the brand or product.
- We use no more of the mark than is necessary — typically a name and a small favicon-sized logo for visual recognition.
- We do not present the mark in a way that suggests the trademark holder sponsors, endorses or has reviewed the Site.
03 — Logo / favicon sourcing.
Logo images are retrieved through the public Google Favicon API or, for products, through Google Custom Search results. We do not host original logo files; we cache small, low-resolution copies for performance. If a brand owner provides a higher- quality or alternate version they would prefer us to use, we will swap it in.
04 — Movement labels and reputation.
Labels such as “Rising”, “Falling”, “New entry” or “Stable” describe changes in language-model output between snapshots. They are not statements about a brand’s commercial performance, product quality or business reputation. Rankings should not be read as comparative advertising claims under Article 4 of the EU Misleading and Comparative Advertising Directive (2006/114/EC) or under U.S. Lanham Act §43(a).
05 — Brand-owner requests.
If you are a brand owner and you would like us to:
- replace a logo image with one you provide,
- correct a brand name spelling, casing, or transliteration,
- add or correct an editorial description on your brand profile,
- remove your brand from a specific ranking on grounds of nominative scope, or
- raise a trademark concern not covered by the takedown procedure,
please write to legal@whataiwouldbuy.com from a domain that establishes your authority to act for the brand. We aim to respond within seven business days. For takedown of allegedly infringing content, follow the takedown procedure instead.
06 — What AI Would Buy marks.
“What AI Would Buy”, the site icon and wordmark are trademarks (or common-law marks pending registration) of the Site operator. You may reference the Site by name in editorial coverage; please do not adopt the name or visual identity in a way that could create confusion.
