Trademark Guidelines
Last updated: June 2026
"OSDF Systems", the OSDF Systems logo, and related marks are trademarks of OSDF Systems. These guidelines explain acceptable use.
Permitted use
- Referring to OSDF Systems products and the OSDF format accurately and factually.
- Stating that your product "supports OSDF" or "is compatible with OSDF" when that is true and verified against the conformance suite.
Restrictions
- Do not use our marks in a way that implies endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship without written permission.
- Do not modify the logos or use them as part of your own product name or logo.
- Do not claim OSDF-certified status without completing the certification requirements.
The open format
The OSDF format is open and royalty-free. These trademark guidelines protect the names and logos so that "OSDF" continues to mean a verifiable, conformant implementation - they do not restrict implementing the specification.
