In order to protect the good names of "Dianetics", "Scientology" and "Applied Philosophy" the following policies are continued or become effective immediately.

1. All lectures, books, publications, films, models and diagrams on the above subjects are copyrighted by L. Ron Hubbard.

2. Permission to use these words is given to all bona fide holders of certificates issued by an organization accredited by L. Ron Hubbard, subject to the following conditions:

(a) The names, data, materials and processes are only to be used in connection with and in relation to the Level and Class for which the certificate has been issued.

(b) Technical information, by which is meant the "how" and "why" of our activities, must not be released by lecture, writing, demonstration or by any other means except by books or tapes published by L. Ron Hubbard, or an organization approved by L. Ron Hubbard, or on a properly organized Course by a person certificated to teach that Course, or in a properly arranged auditing session where a "process" may be applied within the Class and Level of the auditor.

Note: The reason for the foregoing is that when data gets relayed other than from the original source, i.e., book, bulletin, lecture, etc., an alterisness occurs, be it ever so small, which can be disastrous.

3. (a) The names "Dianetics", "Scientology", "Applied Philosophy" may only be used in a Company or activity name under licence from L. Ron Hubbard.

(b) Such licence can be withdrawn at any time.

(c) The licence is not transferable except with written permission of L. Ron Hubbard or a person authorized by him to grant such permission.

(d) Licences will only be issued to individual Franchise Holders.

(e) Licences will not be issued where the title includes a place name which indicates an area larger than the immediate vicinity of the Headquarters of the Franchise Holder.

4. Anyone practicing Scientology under any name other than his own must get permission of the Franchise Secretary.

5. The use of data and/or materials under another name or using the data and/or materials in conjunction with any other Philosophy is forbidden.

6. The use of data and/or materials other than for the betterment of an individual, group or mankind is forbidden.

7. Certificates and, therefore, permission to practice, etc., may be withdrawn at any time by L. Ron Hubbard or any person authorized by him to do so, if there is any infringement of the above or, if, in his opinion, it is necessary, for any reason.

It is not intended to stop any bona fide Scientologist, properly certificated, from practicing or using Scientology data or material; on the contrary, it is necessary to protect you from mis-use of them by others.
