The name “Bedurion”, along with any associated logos, slogans, stylized designs, or other branding elements, are registered trademarks of Bedurion, duly recorded with the appropriate intellectual property authorities in United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). These trademarks are protected under national and international trademark laws, including the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property and the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks, and confer exclusive rights to use in connection with investment services, financial consulting, and related goods or services.

These trademarks may not be used in any manner without the prior, express, and written consent of Bedurion. Unauthorized use of Bedurion’s trademarks may constitute trademark infringement, dilution, or unfair competition and will be pursued to the fullest extent of the law. Examples of prohibited uses include, but are not limited to:

Using the Bedurion name or logo in advertising campaigns, domain names, social media handles, meta tags, email signatures, or business cards without permission.
Incorporating the Bedurion trademark into third-party branding, such as suggesting an affiliation or endorsement by Bedurion.
Registering or attempting to register similar marks that could cause confusion or dilute the distinctiveness of the Bedurion brand.

Exceptions and Fair Use

Nothing in this copyright notice shall be construed as limiting the rights of fair use or fair dealing as provided under applicable copyright law, such as Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act, Article 31 of the Spanish Intellectual Property Law, or equivalent provisions in other jurisdictions. Such exceptions may include limited use of the Content for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research, provided such use strictly complies with the legal requirements of the applicable jurisdiction (e.g., considering factors like purpose, amount used, market effect, and attribution). Users are solely responsible for ensuring that any such use qualifies as fair use or fair dealing and for obtaining any necessary clearances for third-party rights embedded in the Content. For example, quoting a short excerpt of a Bedurion article in a news report with proper attribution may qualify, but reproducing an entire report without permission does not.
