Seeking permission to mention Atlassian in book and website

Question

Good afternoon! My name is Katrina, and I am writing my second book Scrum Master First 90 Days: The Scrum Mother Approach.

I have Jira and Trello listed as Backlog Management tool options in the book and my website. Since I use Jira myself, I also have screenshots of a few reports with my own details for my readers learning experience.

I am seeking your permission by July 31st to use these references within the book and my website, to ensure there is no conflict. The "Contact Us" section of Atlassian's Help Center won't allow me to use a Gmail account.

Who can I send the specific references to seek permission?

Thank you,
Katrina

Hi @Katrina L_ Coker

Many congratulations on the book.

Send your request directly to Atlassian’s Trademark team at trademarks@atlassian.com. Their current guidelines specifically direct trademark-use questions and permission requests there, and say that reproducing Atlassian screenshots or imagery requires permission. See Trademarks guidelines

Hi @Katrina L_ Coker ,

On top of what Viswanathan said (and that's the best course of action; send all questions you have to the stated email address), here are some key considerations related to your book:

When preparing your references, please keep the following in mind:

* Attribution: Ensure you provide proper notice and attribution for all Atlassian trademarks used.

* Website Design: Your website should be clearly distinguishable and not closely resemble Atlassian’s own web properties.

* Domain Names: Avoid using Atlassian trademarks (like "Jira" or "Trello") within your top-level domain name, though they may be used in the URL path (e.g., yourdomain.com/jira)

* Reporting Copyright and Trademark Violations 
* Atlassian Marketplace Partner Agreement

Best of luck, and feel free to share the link for the book/website once it's out 🙂

Cheers,
Tobi
