33  </div>
34    <ul>
35    <li>Android&trade; should have a trademark symbol the first time it appears in a creative.</li>
36    <li>Android should always be capitalized and is never plural or possessive.</li>
37    <li>"Android", or anything confusingly similar to "Android", cannot be used
38    in names of applications or accessory products, including phones, tablets, TVs,
39    speakers, headphones, watches, and other devices. Instead, use "for Android".
40      <ul>
41        <li><span style="color:red">Incorrect</span>: "Android MediaPlayer" or "Ndroid MediaPlayer"</li>
42        <li><span style="color:green">Correct</span>: "MediaPlayer for Android"</li>
43      </ul>
44      <p>If used with your logo, "for Android" should be no larger than 90% of your logo's size.
45      The first instance of this use should be followed by a TM symbol: "for Android&trade;".</p>
46    </li>
47    <li>"Android TV", "Android Wear", and "Android Auto" may only be used to identify or market
48      products or services with prior approval.  Use "for Android" or "with Android" for all
49      other Android-based products.
50      <ul>
51        <li><span style="color:red">Incorrect</span>: "Android TV Streaming Stick",
52          "Streaming Stick with Android TV"</li>
53        <li><span style="color:green">Correct</span>: "Streaming Stick with Android"</li>
54      </ul>
55      <p>If used with your logo, "for Android" or "with Android" should be no larger than 90% of
56        your logo's size. The first instance of this use should be followed by a TM symbol:
57        "for Android&trade;".</p>
58    </li>
59    <li>Android may be used as a descriptor in text, as long as it is followed by a
60        proper generic term and is not the name of your product, app, or service.
61        Think of "Android" as a term used in place of "the Android platform."
62      <ul>
63        <li><span style="color:red">Incorrect</span>: "Android MediaPlayer" or "Android XYZ app"</li>
64        <li><span style="color:green">Correct</span>: "Android features" or "Android applications"</li>
65      </ul>
66    </li>
67    </ul>
68
69    <p>Any use of the Android name needs to include this
