New Logo License Agreement 11.0 Now Available
The new Logo License Agreement 11.0 is now available for signing. There are four changes from the previous Logo License Agreement.
[] We updated the definition of subsidiaries and the name of OEM licenses in the Definitions section to map to the latest OEM licenses.
[] We updated the logo artwork for the premium Windows Vista logos to reflect the new registered trademark symbol (®) after the flag.
[] We removed a duplicate reference to the Hardware Logo Program Requirements in
Exhibit 2.
[] We updated the Test URL in Exhibit 2.
Logo License Agreement 11.0 Requirement Q&A
Based on your feedback, we have compiled the following questions and answers regarding the new Logo License Agreement (LLA) 11.0. We hope this clarifies the changes, and we welcome you to continue to send your feedback to whqlegal@microsoft.com. Thank you. Q. We have already signed the previous version of the agreement. Do we need to sign the new agreement now?
LLA 10.0 and LLA 10.1 cover the same logo rights as the new LLA 11.0. The new LLA 11.0 simply clarifies the terminology and provides updated artwork. Therefore, if you signed LLA 10.0 or LLA 10.1, you do not need to sign the new LLA 11.0. Q. When will current Windows Logo Program participants be required to sign the new LLA 11.0?
You do not need to sign a new LLA until the previous agreement expires or a new logo program is introduced. We will announce it when a new program comes into effect. Q. When will the new LLA 11.0 be mandatory?
LLA 11.0 is the only version of the agreement available for new signing. However, those who have signed LLA 10.0 or LLA 10.1 are not required to sign LLA 11.0. Q. What is the purpose of the new LLA 11.0?
The main purpose of the new LLA 11.0 is to update the artwork and provide clarifications. You may use the new artwork without signing the new LLA 11.0 because that new artwork is covered in abstract by the LLA 10.1 agreement.
Q. Can the new registered artwork be used without signing the new LLA 11.0?
Partners may use the new registered artwork if either LLA 10.1 or LLA 11.0 is signed.
New Logo Artwork Available June 12, 2008
A new logo artwork package will be available for download from the Windows Quality Online Services (Winqual) Web site on June 12, 2008. We updated the new premium Windows Vista logo artwork in Logo License Agreement 11.0 to reflect the registration of the Windows flag logo. The TM next to the flag is now an ®. There is no specific time frame that partners must follow to convert from the TM flag to the ® flag. After using up all current inventory of the non-registered flag, partners are expected to produce the new artwork and use the new artwork on all future qualifying product packaging. Partners may continue to use the older artwork until inventory is depleted.
