Fair use rationale for Swingline article[edit]

This trademarked image is used in the English-language Wikipedia article "Swingline." The manner of said use constitutes a "fair use" under both United States trademark law and United States copyright law. Specifically:

1. The English-language Wikipedia is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., a non-profit charitable organization.
2. The article for which the use occurs is purely educational in nature, and is thus non-commercial.
3. The image is a historically significant logo of a large, widely-known company.
4. The sole purpose of this use of the trademarked image is to illustrate the business entity that is the subject of the article.
5. Said image is the primary means of visual identification of the subject of the article.
6. The market for products sold under this trademark by the subject of the article will not be diminished by this use of the image.
7. Because the image is provided at a low resolution inappropriate for re-printing product packaging, its usage on Wikipedia does not pose a problem of aiding the illegal production of counterfeit goods, or make it so that the trademark holder could not in the future successfully re-sell the image on such other items as apparel or branded accessories.
8. Since it is a trademarked logo, the image is not replaceable with a "free content" image.
9. The image is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is produced, sponsored, or authorized by the owner of the image.
