<h1>Legal Notice</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Android is an open platform that's freely available to you as an app developer. You can

|
|
registration or fees.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Android is developed by Google Inc. and the <a
|
|
href="http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/">Open Handset Alliance</a>. We've made it available to you
|
|
as a development platform pursuant to our commitment to openness, freedom, and innovation in
|
|
mobile.</p>

<p>The "Android" name, the <img src="images/android-logo.png" alt="Android"

|
|
|
|
<p>You may use the word "Android" in a product name only as a descriptor, such as "for Android"
|
|
and the first instance should be followed by a TM symbol, "for Android™." In other
|
|
messaging, the word "Android" may be used in text as a descriptor, as long as it is followed by a
|
|
proper generic term (for example, "Android™ application"). Any use of the Android name
|
|
must include footer attribution in your communications: "Android is a trademark of Google Inc."</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Android Robot logo <img src="images/robot-tiny.png" alt=""

in marketing communications. Our standard color value for print is PMS 376C. Our online hex color is
