7.4 Trademark Usage
Dolby Laboratories encourages use of the Dolby Digital trademark to identify
soundtracks that are encoded in Dolby Digital. This is an effective way to inform
listeners of the soundtrack format, and the use of a standard logo promotes easy
recognition in the marketplace. As with any trademark, the Dolby Digital logo may
not be used without permission. Dolby Laboratories provides a royalty-free
Trademark and Standardization Agreement (TSA) for companies who wish to use
Dolby trademarks. The company that owns the program material being produced
must sign this agreement. Recording studios or production facilities that provide
audio production, encoding, or manufacturing services for outside clients generally do
not require a trademark license. However, we do ask that these facilities refer their
clients to us for trademark licensing information.
To use the Dolby Digital logo, apply for a Dolby Trademark and Standardization
Agreement (TSA) by sending email to
[e-mail]
or by contacting Dolby
Laboratories at any of the locations given in this document. When sending written
requests, please indicate whether you would like a Dolby Digital or Dolby Surround
trademark license, or both; also include your name, company name, mailing address,
and the type of media your soundtracks, music recording, etc., will be distributed on
(such as DVD, DVD-ROM, DTV broadcast, etc.).
