Industrial Property – patents, trademarks and
industrial designs

music and computer
 Never transmit any material in any manner that is
disruptive, threatening, profane, abusive,
harassing, embarrassing, tortuous, defamatory,
obscene, and libelous or is an invasion of
another’s privacy.
Never transmit any material
that is hateful or racially,
ethnically or otherwise offensive

Avoid sending unsolicited or


unauthorized advertising,
promotional materials or any
other form of solicitation
 
If you affiliate your job with your

mind you are representing both yourself
