Hello!
I'm writing an application with a list of some equipment and I want to have a "brand" field in my records. I'd like to make a list of popular brands user can choose from to make adding records faster.
Can I use plain brand names? (not logotypes)
Do I have to ask every company for permission or do I only have to write for example "Sony is a trademark of Sony Corporation" in my app credits, copyrights? Maybe I don't have to write anything at all?
These brands won't be used for promotion of course.
