Trademarks Statement
< Home
We value our brand and the brands of others, and provide the following Trademarks Statement regarding the use of our trademarks and any third-party marks on our website and services.
Our Trademarks
All names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans related to our company are trademarks or service marks owned by us (whether registered or unregistered), unless otherwise indicated. This includes our company name, our logo, and any distinctive branding or tagline used in connection with our commodity analytics platform and consulting services. These brand elements are important corporate assets, and we vigorously protect our rights in them. All rights are reserved. Nothing on our website or in our services should be interpreted as granting, by implication or otherwise, any license or right to use any of our trademarks without prior written permission.
Proper Use: You may not use our trademarks in any manner that is likely to cause confusion about the source of products or services, or in any way that disparages or dilutes the brand. For example, you should not use our company name or logo in the name of your own website, product, or service in a way that suggests affiliation or endorsement without authorization. If you are a client or partner who wishes to reference our brand (for instance, in a testimonial or on a client list), please contact us for the proper trademark usage guidelines and written permission. We generally allow factual, truthful statements (e.g., “Using Al Banyan Tree analytics for market insights”) as long as our mark is used as an adjective followed by the generic term (e.g., “the Al Banyan Tree platform”) and not as a noun or verb, and provided there’s no suggestion of endorsement. Any permitted use of our trademarks must be in compliance with any brand guidelines we provide.
Unauthorized use of our trademarks is strictly prohibited and may constitute trademark infringement. As allowed under applicable law (such as Hong Kong’s Trade Marks Ordinance and international treaties), we will enforce our trademark rights to prevent consumer confusion or misuse of our brand. This could include legal action for injunctions and damages if necessary, as unauthorized use can mislead others and harm our reputation. By respecting our trademarks, you help protect the integrity of our brand and the reliability of our services.

Third-Party Trademarks
Our website and reports may reference trademarks, service marks, or logos of other companies — for example, mention of Google or Facebook in relation to analytics tools, or references to commodity exchange names, client logos (with permission), or industry product names. All such third-party marks are the property of their respective owners. Use of third-party trademarks on our site is solely to refer to the owners’ products or services or for identification purposes. This does not indicate any sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation between us and those third parties, unless we explicitly state such a partnership.
We acknowledge the rights of the respective owners of third-party trademarks. For instance, “Google” and “Google Analytics” are trademarks of Google LLC; “Facebook” is a trademark of Meta Platforms, Inc.; and other names may be trademarks of their respective owners. Our inclusion of these names is nominative fair use – simply to describe the tools or companies in question. It is not meant to imply that we have any trademark rights in those names. Likewise, if we display a client’s logo on our site (with permission to indicate they use our services), that logo remains the trademark of the respective client.
Limitations on Use of Third-Party Marks: You must not use any third-party trademarks displayed on our site in a way that infringes the trademark owner’s rights. If you choose to follow links from our site to others or to use third-party services we mention, you are responsible for complying with those third parties’ trademark guidelines and terms of use.
