Bluetooth certification is also known as BQB certification. In short, if your product has Bluetooth function and the Bluetooth logo is marked on the product appearance, it must pass a certification called BQB. All Bluetooth SIG member companies can use Bluetooth markers and logos after certification. The Bluetooth wordmark and logo can only be used for related products that have passed the Bluetooth qualification process.
With the continuous development and evolution of Bluetooth technology, we can see an important change of Bluetooth trademark. The background color of Bluetooth trademark is changed from dark blue to bright blue. And the brand-new slogan "unthinkable connected" means that the connection between Bluetooth and technology will surpass imagination, which means that "brand new blue" will undoubtedly make our life better!
