CIPA announced
the establishment of the PictBridge logo
certification program. The logo certification program will assure
interoperability of consumer digital imaging products displaying the PictBridge mark.
The PictBridge logo mark will provide
assurance to digital imaging consumers the interoperability of their
products. Digital imaging products, displaying the logo, provides
consumer with confidence that products have met rigorous PictBridge logo certification requirements.
When a product successfully passes the test, the manufacturer or vendor is
granted the right to use the PictBridge logo on that product.
Roughly, the following procedures are necessary to develop products
that conform to PictBridge and to use the PictBridge mark/logotype for these products.
