hey all - I need to make a clarification: we are happy to approve people's registered use of the FHIR trademark to refer to events/products of your own. In non-legalse, there are 3 conditions:

  • you must ask us in writing first (using the one of the forms on fhir.org)
  • you must clearly differentiate, in your use, between "fhir the specification" and your use of FHIR
  • you must explain what actions you are taking to ensure that your event/product is conformant/compliant with the specification

all that is established policy. But I need to issue a clarification:

  • we do not - and will not - support anyone registering trademarks of their own that include the HL7 registered trademark "FHIR" as part of another trademark
