A ProductName
is the formal name of any product. Identifying
a product this way may be useful if you need to provide explicit disclaimers
about product names or information.
For example, the copyright statement on this book includes the following general notice:
Some of the designations used by manufacturers and sellers to distinguish their products are claimed as trademarks. Where those designations appear in this book, and O'Reilly & Associates, Inc., was aware of the trademark claim, the designations have been printed in caps or initial caps.
ProductName
, we could
have automatically generated a complete list of all the product
names and mentioned them explicitly in the notice.
In running prose, the distinction between an Application
and a
ProductName
may be very subjective.
Formatted inline.
Two of the values of the Class
attribute on ProductName
, Trade
and
Registered
, make assertions about
trademarks. DocBook also has a TradeMark
element;
presumably the same markup is intended regardless of which one is
used.
The Service
and Copyright
values should
also generate the anticipated marks, if appropriate.
The InterfaceDefinition
element will be discarded in DocBook V4.0. It will no longer be available
in the content model of this element.
