Help Desk Question: APA Custom Product

Question: What is APA Series [or APA Custom Product]?

Help DeskAnswer: APA no longer uses the term "APA Series." The term is replaced with "APA Custom Product."

The purpose of APA’s Custom Product program is to provide trademark options for products that may fall outside of existing product standards. To gain an APA Custom Product trademark, a technical evaluation is performed on a product for its intended end use. This program is an efficient way to recognize customized products intended for specific customers.

What is RSS?

As the amount of content available online grows each day, the challenge has become managing and monitoring the information. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a tool that delivers updates to all your favorite sites in one place, rather than you visiting a number of sites every day to check for new content.

To use RSS, you will need a news reader, also called an aggregator. News readers can be web-based, an add-on to your e-mail client or integrated into your browser. Google provides a comprehensive list of news readers.
