Licensing

Obtaining a license

The universal consumer facing service mark indicates that a mobile device, a stand-alone application, an operator’s service offering or a hosted solution provider is compliant with the product profile based on the RCS specification and has met the comprehensive interworking and quality test criteria. The service mark offers a high level of assurance of service delivery for consumers, the foundation of promise ‘It’s just there, it just works’.

Obtaining a license for Operators and Client Providers

If your organisation would like to use the joyn service mark, please download the joyn logo license agreement document and accompanying annexes A, B and C from the document download area on the right. Upon reviewing the License Agreement document, sign and return it to us both by email and hard copy. Once the joyn logo license agreement has been executed by the GSMA Legal Department, access to the IOT information and joyn digital artwork will be provided.

Obtaining a license for Hosted Solution Providers

Those organisations wishing to provide hosted solution services to operators as a way for the latter to reduce the capital and organizational outlay of deploying their own IMS core and providing a route to rapid deployment of RCS services, can use the same joyn logo license agreement as Operators and Device/Client Providers. From the RCS services assurance perspective this accreditation will be considered ‘Accreditation Ready’ and is not considered valid for commercial use by end users.
Note however that for Hosted Solution Providers different annexes B and C to the License Agreement shall be used.

Obtaining a marketing-only license

An organisation that is associated directly or indirectly with the joyn ecosystem and would like to use the logo in marketing collateral such as commercial advertising and promotional material will need to apply for a Marketing only Logo License Agreement. Marketing only Logo License Agreement is designed for those parties not falling into Licensee types above.
