Gartner Copyright and Quote Policy Changes
We recently updated our policies to ensure our intellectual property is not taken out of context and therefore possibly misunderstood by those reading it.
The new policy is that if a Magic Quadrant, Vendor Rating or MarketScope graphic is extracted for use in presentations, the entire Research Note must be made available to the audience. Why have we done this? Because if the graphic is presented by itself -- without the context of its explanatory content -- it can easily be misunderstood. For example, without context viewers might think the only vendors worth considering in a Magic Quadrant are those in the "Leaders" quadrant. This is clearly not our intent, but viewers would not know this unless they read the Research Note surrounding the graphic.
This change ensures the policy is consistent for all of these graphical excerpts. (This has always been our policy for extracting these graphics, with the exception of use in presentations to a limited audience.)
The second change is that Magic Quadrant, Vendor Rating and MarketScope graphics may not be used in advertising. The reasoning is the same: without explanation, these graphics could easily be misunderstood by the audience viewing them.
