Use of P3O Intellectual Property

Accredited Training and Consulting Organisations

Accredited Training and Consulting Organisations accredited by APMG-International are the only organisations permitted to use the P3O logo in the form of their Accreditation Mark (as shown below).

The Swirl logoâ„¢ is a Trade Mark of the Office of Government Commerce

The P3O Accreditation Mark as shown above is exclusively for use by P3O Accredited Training and Consulting Organisations as a benefit of accreditation, and cannot be licensed for use by any other organisations or individuals.

Licensing of P3O Intellectual Property  

The content of the OGC core P3O publications as published by TSO is protected by Crown copyright, and may only be used under licence from OGC.  Similarly the trade marks associated with P3O are owned by OGC and a licence is required to re-use them.

P3O Accredited Training and Consulting Organisations are licensed to use the P3O Accreditation mark and official P3O content in accredited training courses and marketing activities relating directly to their accredited offerings. Accredited organisations wishing to use OGC's intellectual property for any other purpose must apply to APM Group for a Trade Mark (and Copyright) Licence.

Unaccredited organisations and individuals must apply to APM Group for a Trade Mark (and Copyright) Licence if they wish to use the P3O trade mark (word mark) or Crown copyright from official P3O publications.
