“M17” logo registration

The black and red “M17” logo became a widely recognized image. Seeing the growing number of protocol’s implementations and commercial hardware available, we decided to register it as a trademark to protect it.

The Foundation filed in a request through the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and Polish Patent Office (UPRP). The process can be monitored using the following links: EUIPO, UPRP.

M17 Foundation established

M17 Foundation has been established on December 6th in Warsaw, Poland. From now on, the M17 Project will finally have a solid, legal entity to represent and protect its interests. This is especially important now, when there’s growing number of implementations and radio equipment manufacturers, releasing M17-protocol-compatible devices worldwide.
