INTRODUCTION

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTIONODVA is an international trade and standards development organization whose 400+ corporate members comprise the world’s leading
suppliers of products and systems for industrial automation applications. The common interest of ODVA’s Members is the development
and promotion of open and interoperable information and communication technologies for these applications. The key ingredient of its
technologies is the Common Industrial Protocol, commonly called “CIP™,” a media independent protocol that is used by EtherNet/IP™,
the world’s leading industrial Ethernet network, as well as by DeviceNet™, ControlNet™ and CompoNet™.
The ultimate goal of ODVA’s activities is to create a greater market opportunity for all of its Members and Licensed Vendors by building
and promoting a comprehensive ecosystem of Vendors and interoperable products for industrial automation applications.
The uniform and correct use of the identity elements which represent ODVA’s brands – by all participants in ODVA’s ecosystem – isessential to the realization of ODVA’s ultimate goal. The Brand Standards + Identity Guidelines publication (“Identity Guidelines”) provides
standards and guidelines on the proper use of the various identity elements for ODVA’s brands as well as on the proper use of ODVA
copyrighted material contained in the ODVA specifications that may need to be reproduced by Vendors in order to provide complete
and accurate documentation to users.
The audience for this publication is the organization’s Licensed Vendors and Members.

PUB00036R11, AUGUST 2024

ODVA BRAND STANDARDS + IDENTITY GUIDELINES|5ODVA Brands
ODVA’s brands are the essential element in communicating the bond shared among the organization’s stakeholders to industry.
Because of this bond, ODVA and its greater community of stakeholders have a shared obligation to protect the equity of these brands
and to increase their business value over time. To that end, ODVA’s logo marks have been optimized for a variety of use cases, including
products, collateral, and websites. Most important, ODVA’s trademark for its certification of products has been standardized as a single“ODVA CONFORMANT” logo and word mark, which will aid end users seeking compliant solutions for ODVA technologies.
ODVA brands are communicated with trademarks that always take the form of a word mark (that is, the trademark in writing rather thangraphic format) and sometimes take the form of a logo mark. Correct use of both forms is essential to maintaining and building brandequity. Usage of the following trademarks is described on the following pages:
BRAND CATEGORY

TRADEMARKSTechnology

EtherNet/IP™, DeviceNet®, ControlNet®, CompoNet®

Conformance

ODVA CONFORMANT TM

Technology Ingredients

CIP™ and distinctive CIP Services including CIP Safety™, CIP Energy™, CIP Sync™, CIP Security™ and CIP Motion™

Organization

ODVA®

Associates

ODVA MEMBERTM

Furthermore, proper usage of these trademarks requires that their ownership is credited to ODVA by use of the relevant mark (“TM” or“®”) as appropriate for the word or logo form. When using the word mark form of an ODVA trademark, it is permitted to append the “®”or “TM” when the word mark appears in a title and at its first appearance in the main body of text. Thereafter, the “®” and “TM” may beremoved to aid in readability. See page 7, ODVA Brand Registrations, for additional information on proper usage of the ® registration
mark. Specific to EtherNet/IP, care should be taken to ensure that the “/” in the trademark does not cause a line breakwhen used in text. “EtherNet/IP” shall never be broken across two lines.
These Identity Guidelines supersede all previous published Identity Guidelines. Persons using trademarks or copyrighted materials are
instructed to update all word and logo mark forms of ODVA’s trademarks at the earliest possible convenience. Directions are provided
within these Identity Guidelines on timing of such updates based on common use cases. Requests for graphics files of the logos
described within the guidelines or further guidance regarding these guidelines shall be submitted via email to odva@odva.org.

SECTION 2:+
COMMON USE CASESSECTION 2: COMMON USE CASES

2.1 Use Cases for Licensed VendorsODVA technologies are defined in Final Specifications published by ODVA. The right to make and sell products using ODVA technologies isconveyed under license from ODVA to entities pursuant to a Terms of Usage Agreement (TOU). Provided that the licensee fulfills its “User
Responsibilities” under the TOU, it becomes a Licensed Vendor (or Vendor) for the ODVA technology covered by the TOU.
Vendors may be licensed for one or more of the following technology brands:– EtherNet/IP– DeviceNet– ControlNet– CompoNet
In addition, a Vendor may be licensed for CIP Safety if it is already a Vendor for EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet or Sercos III. (Sercos III is a trademark of Sercos
International.) In general, distinctive CIP Services – CIP Safety, CIP Energy, CIP Sync, CIP Motion and CIP Security – are licensed inclusive with one ormore technology brands. CIP and these distinctive CIP Services are treated as Ingredient brands within ODVA’s Brand Standards. Correct uses of the
Ingredient brands will be first introduced in the section describing the ODVA CONFORMANT trademark.
The acronym CIP stands for the “Common Industrial Protocol” and, when used alone (i.e., not paired as it is for distinctive CIP Services), it may bereferred to using its full name or abbreviated to its acronym either with, or without, explanation of the meaning of the acronym.

2.11 Naming of Products
A Vendor may use an ODVA technology trademark and product name provided that credit is given to ODVA. For example, a Vendor may name a product:- “DeviceNet® Smart I/O Module” where DeviceNet is credited to ODVA and the rest of the name is descriptive; or- “DeviceNet® I/O-MOD™” where DeviceNet is credited to ODVA and IO-MOD is credited to the Vendor.
Several scenarios are not allowed including:- Combinations which could lead to a confusion about the entity controlling the ODVA technology used in a product, such as			“{insert company name} CIP Safety I/O Module”

PUB00036R11, AUGUST 2024

ODVA BRAND STANDARDS + IDENTITY GUIDELINES|

9( Naming of Products continued)- Combinations of words that explicitly or implicitly create a third-party combination such as “DeviceNet Smart I/O Module™”or “DeviceNet
I/O_MOD™”;- Spelling and/or punctuation of ODVA’s technology brand that differs from that approved by ODVA such as “Devicenet® Smart I/O Module” or“EtherNetIP™ Smart I/O Module”;- Derivatives of ODVA’s trademarks which may be confusingly similar as a result of being formed from syllables, punctuation or spelling used in
ODVA’s word marks.
- Product names should not imply that ODVA Ingredient Brands or testable features are included if that is not the case. For example, if a product		 is described as a Motor Controller for EtherNet/IP with CIP Security, it must hold a Declaration of Conformity for both EtherNet/IP and CIP 				Security.
Abbreviations of ODVA’s technology brands such as “EIP” or “DN” are allowed within product names but are strongly discouraged. However, inno case may an abbreviation in a product name result in a combination which could lead to a confusion about the entity controlling the ODVA
technology used in a product. In addition, abbreviations are never permitted in written collateral when explicitly referencing ODVA’s technology
brands. (That is, if the collateral is referencing the DeviceNet network, “DeviceNet” shall not be abbreviated in any way. See Section 2.13 forfurther information.)
Vendors shall comply with these Guidelines pertaining to Naming of Products at all times including, but not limited to, the string reported in
the product’s firmware in the CIP Identity Object (attribute 7), pursuant to Section 2.3.

2.12 Labeling on Products and Components
2.12.1 Products with CIP Objects and Services
Once a product with CIP object and services has received a Declaration of Conformity (“DOC”) and ODVA has published the DOC on its website, it isdeemed to be a “Compliant Product” (Product) and the Vendor may use certain marks on the product that has received the DOC.
Use of Technology Brands EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, CompoNet and ControlNet Logo Marks
To help promote the overall market for products using ODVA technologies, Vendors of Products with CIP objects and services are encouraged to use thelogo marks for the relevant technology brand(s) in a place that will be visually prominent when the product is installed in the field, if possible. Reproductionof the logo mark on Products is allowed in the approved colors of ODVA, in all white or in all black, subject to the requirements described in Section 3.
Reproduction of the word mark form of the trademark is not allowed for this use case with the exception of the use of the trademark
in sizes smaller than the allowable minimum size for the logo mark. In this case, approval should be requested from ODVA. The logo
marks approved for that Product are those shown on the DOC for the Product.
Use of ODVA CONFORMANT Certification Mark
Once a Product has received DOC, and once ODVA has published the DOC on the ODVA website, ODVA also provides a certification mark for use on the
Product. Vendors may affix the ODVA CONFORMANT logo mark (“conformance tested logo mark”) on any Product which has received a DOC. If used,
this logo mark shall be placed on the informational Product label (if a label is present) and in conjunction with other certification marks (if any are present).
Reproduction of the logo is allowed in all white or all black, subject to the requirements described in Section 3. Reproduction of the word mark form of
the trademark is not allowed for this use case. When used, the ODVA CONFORMANT logo mark shall be used in its entirety at a minimum.
Use of the ODVA Icons
For use with the ODVA CONFORMANT certification mark, ODVA’s identity elements include icons to indicate which distinctive CIP Services are in the
Product – CIP Safety, CIP Energy, CIP Sync, CIP Motion and/or CIP Security. In all cases the DOC for the Product will indicate which icons may be usedwith the ODVA CONFORMANT logo mark on the Product. The use of a trademark indicating that a Product holds a valid Declaration of Conformity (e.g.,“ODVA CONFORMANT”) shall be consistent between the Declaration of Conformity, the Product Labeling and any Related Written Material for Products.
The icons used with the ODVA CONFORMANT certification mark, if used, shall be exactly identical (including order) to those shown on the DOC for the
Product.

2.12 Labeling on Compliant Products
2.12.2 Components and Component Assemblies without CIP Objects and Services
The Final Specifications define Requirements for connector and cable components for use in EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, ControlNet and CompoNet
systems. ODVA currently does not issue DOCs for components and/or assemblies of components and therefore a Vendor shall not use ODVA’s marks
for its technology brands and/or certification on such components and/or component assemblies. However, a Vendor may use the technology brands inconnection with written collateral material for Products and components as described in Section 2.13.
2.12.3 Software without CIP Objects and Services
ODVA currently does not issue DOCs for software that cannot be classified as a CIP Device, such as software interfaces between ODVA networks andenterprise systems. Therefore, a Vendor shall not use ODVA’s marks for its technology brands and/or certification within such software. However, a Vendor
may use the technology brands in connection with written collateral material for Products and components as described in Section 2.13.

PUB00036R11, AUGUST 2024

information regarding ODVA, visit www.odva.org.

For the avoidance of doubt, the ODVA specifications that may be cited are:
– The EtherNet/IP™ Specification– The DeviceNet® Specification– The ControlNet® Specification– The CompoNet® Specification– The CIP Safety™ Specification
Marketing CollateralIn addition to trademarks in their logo mark and word mark forms, Vendors are also given the option to use the composite logo markthat pairs a given technology brand with the ODVA logo within its marketing collateral to help promote the relationship between ODVA
and its vendor-independent, open and interoperable technologies.

SECTION 3:+
PROPER USAGESSECTION 3: PROPER USAGES FOR MARKSThe ODVA family of logo marks is built based on a common, specialized font style combined with particular spelling, punctuation andcoloration. When produced in the organization colors as defined in Section 3.1, the family is further unified. ODVA’s endorsement of its
brands is reinforced through composite logo marks that pair a given technology brand with the ODVA brand. The family of ODVA logos
is the property of ODVA and shall be used only in accordance with these specifications to protect the equity of the brands for the benefitof all stakeholders. Use these approved guidelines exclusively, and use only the approved electronic artwork. Never alter, add to or
redraw the logo in any way.

3.1 Logo Color Specifications
The following are the only permitted color variations for the family of ODVA logos. No additional color variations are authorized.
SPOT COLOR REPRODUCTION

The Pantone Matching System (PMS) is the standard in the printing industry. Pantone 541 (Blue) and Pantone 130 (yellow) are thematch colors for the ODVA logo.
PROCESS COLOR REPRODUCTION

When the corporate logo is to be reproduced using the four-color process (cyan, magenta, yellow, black), the CMYK ink values typically
produce the spot colors. In order to achieve the closest color match, we suggest you use these values. Always use the Pantone (PMS)chip for absolute color matching accuracy.

PMS 541
CMYK 100/78/32/21
RGB 0/59/113
HEX: #003b71

PMS 130
CMYK 0/37/100/0
RGB 246/168/0
HEX: f6a800

Dependent upon the use case, logos may also be reproduced in solid black or solid white. Logos shall be produced in solid black only
on light backgrounds and shall be produced in solid white only on dark backgrounds.

3.3 ODVA CONFORMANT Logo Mark for Compliant Products
The logo design of the ODVA CONFORMANT logo mark and its specialized font are built on deliberate, consistent angles that are carried
from the conformance mark through to the ODVA organization logo itself. Collectively these reinforce and extend the brand equity of both
marks. Although a color version of the conformance mark is offered for ODVA’s company use and for use in the marketing collateral of
Vendors, it is required to be used in monotone on products (all white or all black).

Additional Icons for Distinctive CIP Services
The right to use CIP Services marks is granted only by ODVA. Logo marks with the appropriate combinations of CIP Services
for a particular Product will be provided by ODVA to Vendors who hold a Declaration of Conformity based upon a test of these CIP
Services. Vendors shall not create independent combinations of the ODVA CONFORMANT mark with the CIP Service Icons.
The design framework shown provides a visual aid for users to easily identify the distinctive CIP Services contained within any particulardevices. (The logos marks below are not a comprehensive list of combinations of possible CIP Services.)

SECTION 4:
TRADEMARKSSECTION 4: PROPER ATTRIBUTION OF ODVA’S TRADEMARKSFor the benefit of all stakeholders in the ODVA ecosystem, when referencing ODVA’s trademarks, Vendors and Members shall, at all times,
provide proper attribution of ODVA’s trademarks currently in use within industry. As Section 2.3 recognizes, ODVA expects that legacy
trademarks, especially those used in conjunction with products and their written documentation, will remain in use for some time. In fact, as
the useful life of many of these products is quite long, ODVA’s legacy trademarks may remain in use for many years. Therefore, vendors
and members shall continue to recognize all of ODVA’s trademarks – including its legacy trademarks – as trademarks of ODVA wheneverthey use them. A comprehensive list of ODVA’s trademarks is contained in the table below including a list of word marks that are in use but
are not discussed on the preceding pages because they are outside of the use cases described.
Proper attribution of ODVA’s trademarks, in either their word mark or logo mark form, will include the following language:{insert trademark name} is a trademark of ODVA, Inc.
For the avoidance of doubt, “ODVA, Inc.” is ODVA’s full legal name. The letters do not represent any short form notation of a longer legal name.

SECTION 5:
FAQs

SECTION 5: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CMYK AND RGB?

CMYK refers to Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. RGB refers to Red, Green, Blue. A commercial printer (not color copying or desk-top
printing) needs CMYK versions of the logo in order to print in full-color process. RGB type files are used on-screen and when printing ona color copier or a desk-top printer.
WHY CAN’T I VIEW AN EPS FILE ON MY PC?

EPS files are primarily used on Apple computers. Generally, you can’t view an EPS file unless you have the appropriate software such as Adobe
Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop.
DPI AND PPI – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

DPI or “dots per inch” specifically refers to how many dots of ink will print per inch. The higher the number, the sharper the image will be.
Most ink jet printers today are capable of printing 1200 to 4800 DPI; this means great results for images with 200-300 PPI. PPI or “pixels
per inch” is the term you will see most often when selecting a resolution for your images in photo editing software. Pixel is an abbreviation for“picture element.” Millions of pixels make up the images and text viewed on your screen.
WHAT IS RASTER?

Raster refers to an image built out of pixels (small blocks of color) which when reduced create an image. Pixel is an abbreviation for“picture element.” A low resolution file is made up of less pixels per inch (PPI). Your computer screen shows images at a resolution of
72 PPI, so while sometimes an image looks crisp on screen, it might look blurry/pixelated when you print the image out since yourprinter prints things at 300 PPI to look crisp.
WHAT IS VECTOR?

Vector is a type of file that is built with solid lines and shapes – like a logo. The advantage is that you will never have to worry about
resolution or the file getting blurry when you increase its size.
A vector file, like a typeface, is scalable to any size and will stay crisp. We will provide you with the logo in a vector format, a low-resolution
jpeg to use on the Web (the Web creates everything from pixels), and a high-resolution jpeg in the event that someone cannot view avector format logo on their computer and needs to print it, or if a printer or partner specifically asks for it for any reason.
