(US/Washington State)
I am making a program, which enhances another program. (read 'add-on' or 'plug-in').
My Question; Can I display the host programs logo on my website?
Here is an example (not 100% accurate to my case, this is just a good example though).
Lets say, I made a 'Photoshop' (which is a computer painting program) 'Plug-in' (or something that can be run inside of Photoshop - usually like an extra window, which gives you extra brushes or something of that ilk).
Can I place on my website 'I Made this Plug-In, which goes into Photoshop!!!' and can I use 'Photohops' logo?
And lastly (for extra points), what if (in the above example) Photoshop did not give me any permission to write this 'plug-in' (but running this program and writing it, is not against the Terms of Use Agreement).
I am going to put something online within the next 24 hours, and I want to double check to see if the above is OK (and save me a little sleep worrying about getting sued over it).
Thank you so very much for your help!!! Please let me know if you have any questions which might help!

Oh, and PS.
I have redrawn the host programs logo by hand, so this is not a copyright issue (which thanks to this and other websites- I have a handle on copyright stuff), this is more-so a trademark issue (which I have yet to do much study on).
THANKS!!!
