Other Trademark Users
Policies and Procedures
By default, the Simplay HD trademark, including the Simplay HD logo can only be used
by the company that has signed the Simplay HD Testing Program agreement, and has
submitted the product/s for Simplay HD testing at one of Simplay Labs' testing centers,
and only in association with those product/s that have successfully been tested. Further,
the trademark and logo can only be used on product/s that are being sold under brand
names that are owned by the company that has signed the Simplay HD Testing Program
agreement. The trademarks and logo cannot automatically be used by another company,
or entity that sells the same Simplay HD approved product under other brand names.
