Trademark Policy

Sprnkle, Inc. owns and uses several trademarks, service marks, and brand assets. This policy explains what marks we claim and how third parties may — and may not — use them.

1. Sprnkle Marks

The following are trademarks or service marks of Sprnkle, Inc.:

• Sprnkle™ (word mark)
• Sprnkle (logo and bead design mark)
• Personality Fingerprint™
• The resume is dead.™ (tagline — pending)

Trademark applications for "Sprnkle" and "Personality Fingerprint" are on file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO Serial No. 99841518, filed May 22, 2026, in International Classes 9, 35, and 42). Additional filings may be made over time.

2. Permitted Uses

You may refer to Sprnkle and its products in factual, descriptive ways without our permission. For example:

• "I found this candidate on Sprnkle."
• "Our team uses Sprnkle for hiring."
• News articles, reviews, and academic writing that refer to Sprnkle and its products.

When you reference our marks, please:

• Use the correct spelling and capitalization: Sprnkle (one word, lowercase "p," no vowel between "Spr" and "nkle"). Personality Fingerprint™ should be written with a capital P and capital F and the ™ symbol on first use.
• Use the marks as adjectives, not as nouns or verbs. "Use the Sprnkle platform" — not "use Sprnkle to do X."
• Include the trademark symbol on first prominent use.
• Make it clear that Sprnkle is a product of Sprnkle, Inc.

3. Prohibited Uses

Without our prior written permission, you may not:

• Use any Sprnkle mark in your business name, product name, domain name, social media handle, or logo.
• Use any Sprnkle mark in a way that suggests Sprnkle endorses, sponsors, or is affiliated with your product, service, or organization.
• Modify, animate, or recolor the Sprnkle logo, the bead design, or any other Sprnkle visual asset.
• Combine any Sprnkle mark with another mark, word, or symbol in a way that creates a composite mark.
• Use any Sprnkle mark in a way that is misleading, defamatory, infringing, or otherwise objectionable.
• Register any trademark, service mark, domain name, or social media handle that is identical or confusingly similar to a Sprnkle mark.

4. Press, Partners, and Investors

If you are a journalist, partner, investor, or potential customer who wants to use a Sprnkle mark or logo, email press@sprnkle.com. We can provide approved brand assets and usage guidance.

5. Reporting Misuse

6. Counterfeit Accounts and Impersonation

Accounts on third-party platforms (Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn, GitHub, etc.) that use the Sprnkle name, logo, or marks without authorization are subject to takedown under the platform's trademark policy. We actively monitor and pursue impersonation.
