Market Considerations<br />

& <strong>GE</strong> Ownership Levels<br />

Option 1<br />

For use when <strong>GE</strong> and<br />

the other company are<br />

essentially equal in the<br />

marketplace and/or<br />

management control.<br />

(When the other company<br />

is dominant,<br />

the sequence of marks<br />

and names may be<br />

reversed.)<br />

To use the name “<strong>GE</strong>”<br />

in the name of the joint<br />

venture, <strong>GE</strong>’s ownership<br />

must be greater than<br />

50%.<br />

Option 2<br />

For use as described<br />

for option 1, above,<br />

but when either<br />

• the joint venture name<br />

(with neither the <strong>GE</strong><br />

name nor the other<br />

company’s name in it)<br />

should have dominance,<br />

at least in some markets<br />

• the minimum ownership<br />

level required to use the<br />

<strong>GE</strong> name is not met<br />

To use the Monogram<br />

in joint marks but not<br />

the name “<strong>GE</strong>” in the<br />

joint venture name,<br />

<strong>GE</strong>’s ownership must be<br />

at least 34%.<br />

Provided that <strong>GE</strong>’s minimum level of ownership<br />

is met, as indicated in the column at the left<br />

below, the Monogram may be used in joint marks<br />

in a graphic signature either with or without<br />

“<strong>GE</strong>” in the joint venture name.<br />
