Hi @MarcCooney049,
That's a super valid question. I'm happy to provide some clarity around this matter.
You may use your own brand logo (John Smith, Inc) in your course. Make sure your logo is legible, on brand, has adequate negative space, and is within the content safe area. Do not add any frames, borders, strokes or letterboxing.
With regard to using someone else's brand (Apple, Microsoft, etc), consult your attorney and make sure all the content in your course complies with the Terms of Service (in particular Section 6 "Specific Obligations of Instructors) :
NOTE: You will be responsible for all of Your Submitted Content, that You own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions, and have the authority to authorize Company, to reproduce, distribute, publicly perform (including by means of a digital audio transmission), publicly display, communicate to the public, promote, market and otherwise use and exploit any of Your Submitted Content on and through the Products in the manner contemplated by these this Instructor Agreement, and that no Submitted Content shall infringe or misappropriate any intellectual property right of a third party.
If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to our Trust and Safety team via policy@udemy.com and they will be happy to help!
