1. What is Bluetooth BQB certification?
Bluetooth certification is also BQB certification. In short, if your product has Bluetooth function and you want to mark the Bluetooth logo on the product's appearance, you must pass a certification called BQB. All Bluetooth SIG member companies can use the Bluetooth word mark and logo after completing the certification. The Bluetooth word mark and logo can only be used for related products that have passed the Bluetooth qualification process.
With the continuous development and evolution of Bluetooth technology, we can see that an important change has taken place in the Bluetooth trademark. The background color of the Bluetooth trademark is changed from dark blue to bright blue. And the brand-new slogan "unthinkably connected", which means that the connection between people and technology will be beyond imagination, which means that the "new blue" will undoubtedly make our lives better!
Note that another major change in the Bluetooth brand is the discontinuation of the Bluetooth Smart and Bluetooth Smart Ready trademarks.
The Bluetooth word mark is also a trademark, but its word mark cannot be changed and cannot be translated into any other language. The following are the available Bluetooth wordmarks:
English (Bluetooth)
Simplified Chinese (Bluetooth)
Traditional Chinese (Bluetooth)
Japanese translation (ブルートゥース)
Korean translation (블루투스)
No matter what form the Bluetooth trademark appears in, the footnote of its trademark must be added——
"TheBluetooth® word mark and logos are registered trademarks owned byBluetooth SIG, Inc., and any use of such marks by [licensee name]is under license. Other trademarks and trade names are those of theirrespective owners. "Footnote font size is not specified , But make sure it is clearly visible.
