Routing through Legal
Best practices for SIM magazines
On your MIC date, make two copies of the following:
• masthead
• table of contents
• postal ID statement page
Route both copies to Becky King in Legal, along with a Legal Review routing slip (available from the Business Office). Becky will give everything a quick check to be sure that we’re using our trademarks properly and that we aren’t infringing on anyone else’s.
As part of our standard cover routing process, the Business Office sends magazine covers to Legal for review. If you’re already routing covers through the Business Office, you don’t need to make any changes. If you’re not routing your covers through the Business Office, please start.
Trademark reminder: On this site, you can find lists of SIM trademarks and common nouns to use in place of other trademarked product names. Another great resource for checking trademarks is the International Trademark Association.
