: : : Hi, : : : I run a service which equips rental cars with E-ZPass transponders (allows renters of the vehicle to drive through toll plazas and pay electronically without stopping to pay cash). : : : In their lobby signage, in-vehicle signage, and counter scripts, is the rental car agency allowed to say that their cars have E-ZPasses in them without any trade name infringement occurring? : : : Does any accreditation need to happen? Also, can the E-ZPass logo be used in this signage? : : : Thanks! : : : David : : Dear David, : : If you have registered E- Z pass that is only part of it. Referential use of a trademark in context may not be infringement. : : M.

Do you mean if we put the registered trademark symbol next to the word E-ZPass?
