Our Registered Trademarks, properly used, help assure end-users that they are buying and using genuine licensed products, not counterfeit alternatives. We solicit your cooperation to follow the "Correct Trademark Usage Guide" which follows, to protect our trademarks, because they are valuable forms of REMINC intellectual property.

Our licensed products' trademarks are presently registered in 32 countries worldwide. We maintain these registrations in order that our license can use them in association with genuine TAPTITE® and REMFORM® fasteners. In addition, their authorized use is carefully monitored by us to prevent infringers from using any of our marks when selling counterfeit parts. For many reasons, it is important that our trademarks are displayed and used properly in marketing literature, websites, packaging and all other printed materials or electronic forms.
