摘錄我國專利審查基準中有關商標的片段，雖不是直指申請專利範圍的使用，但是也是提醒使用商標名稱應符合據以實施要件，若用在申請專利範圍，原則上應讓發明所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者能了解其範圍。
本篇參考https://www.linuxfoundation.org/legal/trademark-usage（Trademark Usage of Linux），"Linux"註冊商標是Linux創作人所有的，而Linus Torvalds聲明Linux是自由且免費的（參考：https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/Linux）。
重點：
"Trademarks are used to provide assurance to the community of consistency with respect to the quality of products or services with which the mark is associated."
"1) the need of The Linux Foundation to ensure that its trademarks remain reliable indicators of the qualities that they have been created to preserve and 2) the need of The Linux Foundation to ensure that community members are able to discuss the projects with which The Linux Foundation is associated and to accurately describe the relationship between The Linux Foundation and the products and services offered by others."
看來，Linux就是一個識別標章，用以連結Linux商品與服務。
"There are also some basic rights that everyone has to use any trademark, which are often referred to as “fair use,” and The Linux Foundation does not intend to restrict those rights. You may make fair use of word marks to make true factual statements. "
Linux Foundation不會限制合理使用其商標。
"The Linux Foundation’s Trademark List at https://www.linuxfoundation.org/legal/trademarks should include the ® symbol immediately after the first usage (e.g., “The Linux Foundation® projects develop open source….”)."
文章第一次使用商標應加入®。
"Do not use logos or names of The Linux Foundation in any commercial or marketing context other than as expressly permitted in this policy unless you have obtained explicit written permission from The Linux Foundation to do so."
商業使用仍須通過Linux Foundation允許使用。
