| Direct your questions to:
Peter Phillips, Manager-Corporate Identity Group
Peter Phillips @MLO
DTN 223-2493
The last time I checked, the Identity Group consisted of
two people, Peter Phillips and Jan Mazzone.
Lack of resources is probably one reason why the Company ID conf
is set 'nowrite'. The other reason is that it is not meant to be
a brainstorming session. If you have questions, contact Peter
or Jan directly. I do this often as I am the west coast advocate
for the Corporate/Company ID group and have always received a
prompt reply.

| Who/What is Proteon? Are they an OEM/ISV/CSO/xyz of ours? I know I've received
literature from people in the above categories on occasion and they use our logo
with wording indicating that they have a close business relationship with us.

| If memory serves me correctly, the President of Proteon is a former
DECie (Patrick Curtin). Not sure what entitles them to use the Digital
logo, but they would have had to go through some sort of authorization
process. Software vendors, (CMPs or Cooperative Marketing Partners)
have always been able to use our logo on their stuff. This has to be a
similar situation.

| Re .-1
They are a networking company located in Westford MA. They do have some
sort of business agreement with DEC. We resell some of their token ring
routers for starters. I still don't see why that should allow their
employees to put our logo on their business cards though.

| Many of our business partners have permission to use our logo on their
business cards. Cognos is another example.

| You could also simply call the sales office asking for the salesperson for
the account and leave him or her a message asking why.

| 2412.7 | It's probably legal | KCOHUB::DAZOFF::DUNCAN | When you see a quack, duck ! | Fri Mar 12 1993 15:53 | 14 |
| There are lots of "business agreements" between Digital and other
companies. Many of these agreements allow the partner to use our
logo in advertising, press releases, trade shows, etc.
In a time when many business partners are trying to distance themselves
from "hardware vendors", I'm glad someone still wants to use our logo
in their business correspondence, especially in the network space
where there's lots of competition.
(and besides ... why are we worried about this ? I doubt that Proteon
or anyone else use our logo without permission in this way without
our approval.)

| 2412.8 | thought "partner" was disallowed | SMURF::WALTERS | | Fri Mar 12 1993 16:15 | 10 |

Do any of these cards or agreements actually use the term "partner"?
A while back, legal was vehemently opposed to this term as it's
a legal construct which allows digital to be held jointly liable.
Just curious....

No.

| 2412.10 | Check DECdirect-CNX500 | NWTIMA::OLEARYST | I've been as far east as you can be | Mon Mar 15 1993 04:32 | 6 |
| Take a look in the DECdirect in the networking section, the CNX500 is
listed in there and it is made by Proteon. We service and sell there
products.
