Welcome to the Veyance Technologies, Inc. Communications Guide for Business Partners.
With the sale of Goodyears Engineered Products Division to The Carlyle Group in the summer of 2007 and
INTRODUCTION
the subsequent creation of Veyance Technologies, Inc., this guide has been developed to clearly outline the
requirements of the Trademark Agreement between Veyance Technologies, Inc. and The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company and your responsibility as a sub licensee of Goodyear trademarks. This guide is to be used in an effort to
assure uniform brand identity and improve our communications and messaging with you and our mutual customers.
In the past, our customers have known our company only as Goodyear Engineered Products. Today we have to
clearly define the lineage of both Goodyear Engineered Products and Veyance Technologies, Inc. It is up to us to
lead this customer messaging and brand uniformity as it is vital to our joint success.
Veyance Technologies, Inc. is our companys legal name. The business of our company today is to manufacture
and sell products and services that are branded Goodyear Engineered Products. The brand we are to promote in
the marketplace is Goodyear Engineered Products.
3
The pages contained here provide the rules of the road for uniformly delivering this message. This book does
not contain the actual route we must take. It is up to you to determine how best to serve your Customers.
Even though each may take different routes we must all follow the same rules.
The target audience for this guide is you, the Goodyear Engineered Products Distributor or Business Partner and,
ultimately, your customers who purchase Goodyear Engineered Products.
These guidelines are part of a continuing program to help clarify and unify the customer messaging efforts of
Veyance Technologies, Inc. as it pertains to Goodyear Engineered Products. Although we show as many examples
as possible, correct usage is ultimately the users responsibility. If you have any questions about anything in this
guidebook or need assistance, please contact:
Thank you for your assistance in helping us maintain a strong, consistent branding presence in the marketplace.

The Trademark Agreement divides all the trademarks Goodyear Engineered Products has been using into two categories:
LICENSED meaning that The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. retains rights and own them.
ASSIGNED meaning that all rights of ownership are transferred to and owned by Veyance Technologies, Inc.
Licensed trademarks require disclaimers stating that The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company owns particular
trademarks. The licensed trademarks that require the use of disclaimers are as follows:
The disclaimer protects your company and ours. Using the disclaimer is a requirement of The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Company and one that will be actively monitored and enforced. The disclaimer does not need to be
prominent, just readable. So we ask distributors to use this disclaimer on all external communications.
If none of the products on the Licensed Trademarks list above are mentioned in copy or visually referenced, use
Disclaimer 1. If only one product from the list is named in copy or shown visually, use Disclaimer 2. When multiple
products are used from the list, use Disclaimer 3. NOTE: The product mentioned in Disclaimers 2 and 3 are for
example only. You will need to replace them accordingly based on the Licensed trademarks list with the products
that actually appear in your communications.

ENGINEERED PRODUCTS COMMUNICATIONS GUIDE
The Winged Foot has been a part of the Goodyear culture for more than 100 years, and it may be used as follows:
WINGED FOOT
The Winged Foot must appear within the entire Goodyear Engineered Products logo. The only time it may be
used by itself is if it has already appeared within the entire logo in the same piece.
For example, if the Winged Foot is seen as part of the entire Goodyear Engineered Products logo on the front of a
brochure, it is permissible to use the Winged Foot by itself on the inside of the brochure, as long as copy or other visual
clearly indicates that the message is from the Goodyear Engineered Products brand.
If youre unsure about the correct use of the symbol versus the entire logo, use the entire logo.
Treatment of the Winged Foot symbol must adhere to the same color, size and proportions as set for the Goodyear
logo in this guide.
15
As there is significant brand equity in Goodyear, its very important that busines partners continue to use the
Goodyear name in the marketplace. The only change being that we must refer to our company, products and
branded services as "Goodyear Engineered Products" per our license agreement with The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Company. This applies to all written (print and digital including the Internet) and verbal communications.
The Veyance Technologies, Inc. name and logo are for Veyance corporate purposes only. The Veyance name and/
or logo should not be used by distributors for any purpose in the marketplace without explicit company approval.
If you believe you have a unique instance that requires the Veyance name and/or logo, please contact regional
headquarters in Kranj. Contact information can be found below.
Goodyear Engineered Products should be the reference to our products in ALL instances and follow the guidelines
within this booklet.
Under our current license agreement, we are permitted to use "Goodyear" instead of "Goodyear Engineered
Products" only on our physical products. We will manage those branding standards. 16
When using the Goodyear Engineered Products logo in any of your communications, it is a requirement of The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company that you include a disclaimer. See page 5 for disclaimer selection and usage.
There are also examples of where the disclaimer should be used on various types of communications. Feel free to
look at existing samples of Goodyear Engineered Products literature to see how we do it.
All uses of the Veyance and Goodyear Engineered Products name and logo must be reviewed and approved
by the company. Should you have instance that you believe requires a reference to Veyance Technologies, Inc,
please contact info_europe@veyance.com (see page 2 for contact information).
Thank you for your assistance in helping us maintain a strong, consistent branding presence in the marketplace.
