Updated Trademark and Logo Usage Guidelines

HDMI Licensing has just released an updated version of the HDMI Trademark and Logo Usage Guidelines. These Guidelines provide critical information that will change the way HDMI-enabled products will be marketed.

The Trademark and Logo Usage Guidelines were created to help manufacturers more effectively market HDMI-related capabilities of products and to create consistency and clarity for consumers who are evaluating products for purchase. Highlights of the new Guidelines include:

Manufacturers will no longer be able to market products by version number without also listing the specific HDMI features enabled in their product. Manufacturers now have consistent naming conventions for HDMI-related features.

For each of the features listed in the Guidelines document, HDMI Licensing, LLC has defined a minimum level of functionality that the device must deliver to the user, thus ensuring that consumers buying these products will receive a consistent, high-quality experience. The Trademark and Logo Usage Guidelines have gone into effect October 28, 2008. Manufacturers are required to use reasonable efforts to comply with the Guidelines beginning immediately. All products shipping on October 28, 2009 or later must comply with all aspects of the new Guidelines.

Please review these guidelines carefully before you incorporate the HDMI Mark into your product or related support materials. If you have any questions concerning your use of the HDMI Mark, please contact trademark@hdmi.org.
