Licensing

The Service List Registry Licensing Programme establishes a formal framework for authorising the use of trademarks and related materials in connection with devices, software applications, and systems that demonstrate compatibility with the Service List Registry platform.

The programme is intended to provide a clear and recognisable indication that an implementation conforms to defined interface behaviour and protocol interaction requirements in relation to the Service List Registry platform, establishing the stylised ‘R’ in a circle device as a visible trust mark for interoperable Service List Registry implementations.

Purpose

The Licensing Programme exists to:

• Prove correct implementation of Service List Registry interfaces
• Promote consistent and interoperable client behaviour
• Provide a visible mark of compatibility for integrators and end users

Scope

Licensing may apply to:

• Devices and displays including televisions and media players
• Software applications, middleware, and operating systems
• Platform integrations and other implementations

Authorised licensees may be permitted to use the trademark in connection with compliant products, documentation, and marketing materials, subject to agreed conditions.

Validation

Licensing is subject to:

• Compatibility with defined interface behaviour requirements
• Verification against structured interoperability scenarios
• Attestation of compliance with applicable standards and guidelines

The detailed validation and certification framework is under development and will be refined in consultation with partners and industry stakeholders.

The Licensing Programme supports reliable implementation and ecosystem consistency. It does not replace compliance with applicable technical standards or regulatory requirements.

Eligibility

Manufacturers, software developers, systems integrators, and platform operators who wish to explore licensing are invited to make contact for further discussion.
