Company logo in my lecture slides I'm currently working on the slides for my database lecture. During the lecture I want to talk about different tools and available programs for database management. Am I allowed to use logos on my slides? What copyright should I put? Here is an example:

Is &quot;All company logos subject to copyrights. All rights reserved.&quot; sufficient?
You are probably permitted to do this as long as you aren't creating a &quot;product&quot; for use with the trademarked logo. Generally speaking, trademark law is distinct from copyright law.
See a non legal description for example.
In your case you are using the logo for purposes of description and identification, which is normally permitted.
But note that the rules and laws aren't universal.
