  • The titles of court cases, e.g. Corfu Channel case, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland v. Albania
  • The titles of books, publications, CD-ROMs, periodicals, newspapers, films, plays, radio and television programmes, podcast series and works of art
  • The names of ships and other vessels, e.g. HMS Frolic, the British ship Frolic; SS United States, the United States; MV Helena; the submarine Le Redoutable
  • Scientific names of animals and plants at the genus and species taxonomic levels, e.g. Rupicapra pyrenaica ornataRosa multiflora
    Note: Families (e.g. "Bovidae"), orders (e.g. "Artiodactyla"), classes (e.g. "Mammalia"), phyla (e.g. "Chordata") and kingdoms (e.g. "fauna") are not italicized (for further information, see The Chicago Manual of Style)
