PsychSense Guidelines for Using Trademarks and Copyrights
Updated 1 October 2026
These guidelines apply to PsychSense licensees, clinical partners, authorised service providers, researchers, and any third parties wishing to reference PsychSense’s trademarks, service marks, logos, or copyrighted clinical materials in promotional, advertising, academic, or instructional materials.
Unauthorised use of PsychSense intellectual property is prohibited. By referencing or utilising any part of a PsychSense trademark or copyrighted asset, you explicitly acknowledge that PsychSense Ltd is the sole owner of the asset and promise that you will not interfere with our corporate trademark rights anywhere in the world.
1. Authorised Use of PsychSense Trademarks
A. Referencing Platform Compatibility
If you are an independent clinician, healthcare provider, or software developer integrating with our ecosystem, you may use the textual trademark "PsychSense" to indicate that your services or tools are compatible with us, provided you meet these criteria:
- Your service or product is, in fact, fully compatible with the PsychSense digital platform or mobile application.
- The reference does not create a false impression of corporate endorsement, sponsorship, or direct affiliation with PsychSense Ltd.
- The brand name is shown in a favourable light that reflects positively on our clinical mission.
B. Educational and Clinical Research Contexts
Academic researchers and medical journalists may use the textual name "PsychSense" when reviewing or analysing our digital screening metrics, provided clear credit is given to the corporate entity.
2. Prohibited Use of PsychSense Trademarks
To safeguard our clinical identity and protect patients from misleading setups, the following restrictions are strictly enforced:
- Company, Product, or Domain Names: You may not use or register the word "PsychSense," or any confusingly similar variations (e.g., "Psych-Sense", "SikeSense"), as part of your own company name, trade name, product name, service name, second-level domain name, or social media handle.
- Logo Discretion: You may not use the official PsychSense corporate logo or graphic symbols on websites, manuals, or packaging without an express, signed trademark license agreement from our legal team.
- Merchandise Restrictions: You may not manufacture, sell, or distribute physical merchandise items (such as clothing, stationary, or medical props) bearing the PsychSense name or logo.
- Imitation of Design Layouts: You may not copy, frame, or imitate the distinctive visual interface, colour choices, font selections, or overall layout ("look and feel") of the PsychSense website or mobile app.
3. Rules for Proper Trademark Citation
When utilising our textual brand names, you must adhere to these standard grammatical rules:
- Use as an Adjective: Trademarks are adjectives that must modify a generic noun describing the actual service (e.g., "PsychSense® digital platform", "PsychSense™ assessments").
- No Plural or Possessive Alterations: Do not use our brand names in plural or possessive formats.
- Capitalisation: Always capitalise and spell our brand name exactly as shown on our official website (PsychSense). Do not shorten, hyphenate, or abbreviate the name.
4. Guidelines for Using Copyrighted Clinical Materials
A. Ownership of Intellectual Property
The structure, text, clinical assessment workflows, intake questionnaires, automated screening logic, graphics, and underlying software code across our mobile application and site are protected under UK and international copyright laws. PsychSense Ltd holds absolute ownership over these assets.
B. Prohibited Copying & Scraping
You are prohibited from copying, scraping, reproducing, or redistributing any text, clinical material, screening scoring templates, or educational articles written by PsychSense for your own commercial use or for a competing digital platform without our prior written consent.
C. Fair Use & Media Extracts
Journalists and academic researchers may quote brief extracts of our public informational text for legitimate review, news reporting, or peer-reviewed commentary, provided that full attribution is given to PsychSense Ltd alongside a functional link back to our original platform source.
5. Required Attribution Templates
When referencing our assets in authorised documentation, marketing materials, or legal footnotes, you must display the following exact attribution blocks:
