Welcome to the Silicon Graphics Trademark Information Web page!
Here you can find lists of selected trademarks of Silicon Graphics and its related companies, and information about how to use and attribute these trademarks properly.
Silicon Graphics' trademarks are the principal means by which we identify ourself, our products and activities to the public, and by which the public, in turn, has come to recognize our company.
Silicon Graphics' great success is due in part to the favorable recognition we have achieved under our company name, and product trademarks such as Indigo®, MIPS®, OpenGL®, CHALLENGE®, Onyx®, IRIXTM and WebFORCE®.
You may reference our trademarks properly as outlined herein to refer accurately to our products and services.
You may not, however, use our logos and design trademarks (as opposed to our trademarks that consist solely of words) without our prior written authorization.
In addition, you may not use our trademarks:
