You work for a pharmaceutical company. During your lunch breaks, you have become acquainted with one of the graphic artists at your company. He has just finished designing a logo for a new product, and the logo is now on your company's website.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The graphic artist's use of the automaker's logo may constitute trademark infringement, and the fact that the logo was modified slightly does not necessarily protect your company from liability. Additionally, just because there is no trademark or registered trademark symbol on the automaker's website does not mean that the logo is not protected by trademark law.
