Module 3: Trademarks

Trademarks

The Vroom Trademarks are valuable tools for us and our licensees! We need your help to protect them.

What are the Vroom Trademarks?

Vroom Trademarks differ by country and jurisdiction. If you plan to use Vroom Content and Trademarks outside the U.S., we will ask you indicate the locations in your application. If you are granted a license, we will provide you with a complete list of applicable Vroom Trademarks for these locations and the symbols to use for each trademark. Depending on the status of the specific trademark registration, this symbol may be a ™ or an ®. Keep in mind that, these symbols may change over time, so we may ask you to update them. Don’t worry, though! We’ll always give you plenty of time to make changes.
