      IIRC there was a case about a guy who was a supplier to Mars using their logo on his website without their permission. He was OK to use the words but not their trademarked logo.

        Personally I just have the client name, as a link to their website

          Are you marketing your skills or your past client

          Why do you supply a past clients website?
          What has ie Boots the chemist who sell pharma products got to do with your
          IT skills unless their website mentions what a fab job you did for them.
          Why would an agent or a client looking at your CV be interested in looking
          at a past clients website?

          I name the client ie BP so other oil companies know that I have worked in the
          same sector.

            Because I don't work in 'IT' in that way.

            I develop the software that is inside the clients product, which they market from their site.
