Trademark Registration Form
Devices that implement the IrSimple Profile specification must be certified in accordance with the IrDA requirements for certification and must use the appropriate certification word mark. It is a necessary pre-condition of the trademark regulations when the IrSimple profile is implemented.
- IrSimple™ is a word brand name (certification trademark) which indicates a device contains both IrSimple uni-directional and bi-directional transmission protocol. Devices using this brand name are required to be certified by an IrDA Authorized Test Lab and registered with the IrDA Office.
- IrSimpleShot™ (IrSS™) is a word brand name (certification trademark) which indicates a device contains the IrSimple uni-directional transmission protocol. Devices using this brand name are required to be certified by an IrDA authorized test lab and registered at IrDA Office.
Both of these "marks" have been used by the IrDA, in the United States, and abroad, since 2006. The use of the IrSS and IrSimple trademarks are controlled by the IrDA through its "IrSimple" Specifications. These marks are certification marks, meaning that IrDA (the owner of the marks) grants permission to use the marks only to those third parties that are certified as "complying" with the IrDA Specifications.
