Using past clients logos on your website

[KentDogWalker]

I was wondering if you guys put your clients logos on your "our clients" part of you website?

Is this fair, even if you contracted for them in the not so recent past?
I'm waiting to hear back from my old client in regard to this.

You're probably in breach of trademark laws doing that.

so home come so many other web agencies get to put the logos on their sites? maybe they have permission each time they use the logo, I don't know. Thats why I ask.

Naff what? A sentence needs an adjective and a noun?

You need to ask permission every time you do so.

Surprisingly lots of companies say "yes".

What about if your linked in page has your past clients on it. So my public page shows the client and their logo. So would you not argue that the relationship between you and the client is already public?

I'm probably conflating two different things here.
