The Organizational Partners of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) have agreed that the Project's name and logo may be made available for use by manufacturers and service providers to declare that their products are based on the Project's specifications.
Implementers wishing to declare conformity to the 3GPP specifications may mark their equipment and documentation with the 3GPP logo and the name 3GPP. The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has registered "3GPP" as a trademark for the benefit of the 3GPP Partners.
This arrangement is entirely voluntary and is one of self-declaration by the manufacturer, supplier, etc. The use of the 3GPP name or logo may be monitored by the trade mark holder or on its behalf. Any misuse of the name or logo detected by a member of the 3GPP community should be brought to the attention of the trade mark holder. Necessary steps may be taken to protect the interests of the 3GPP community.
The arrangement does not involve or imply any certification by ETSI (a partner in 3GPP) or the 3GPP community of the claims by manufacturers or service providers to compliance with the specifications. It is intended simply and only to provide a basis of reference for users, network operators and other manufacturers and service providers.
