The FSA logo is a registered UK service mark, with number 2150560. The Key facts logo is a registered Community trade mark, with the number E3866688. Both are3 the property of the FSA. They are 3also subject to copyright and may be used or reproduced with permission of the FSA only. If the FSA or Key facts logos are 3reproduced or otherwise used by any person without such permission the FSA may seek to enforce its rights over its property through the Courts.

GEN 5 Annex 1 G is a general licence, which sets out the circumstances in which the FSA permits 5a person to whom this chapter applies 7to reproduce the FSA and Key facts logos3. Such a person 7need not apply for an individual licence if it uses or reproduces the logos 3in accordance with the general licence.

The FSA has no policy to allow use of the logos3 by a person to whom this chapter applies 7other than as set out in GEN 5 Annex 1 G. If, however, such a person7 wishes to use or reproduce either of3 the logos3 other than in accordance with the general licence, it may apply to the FSA for an individual licence, giving full reasons why it considers the FSA should grant the licence.
