# How to mention NDI

### Acceptable descriptors

Before mentioning or referring to NDI in any written format, it is fundamental that you understand the difference between (1) the **company** NDI, responsible for developing and taking to market the technology and related products, and (2) the NDI **technology**, formally known as Network Device Interface.\
\
**These two different facets of NDI require specific descriptions.** You should use the options provided below to guarantee maximum message clarity and reduce the possibility of misinterpretation.

### **Usage of the registered ® symbol:**&#x20;

The NDI logo should always contain the registered symbol.&#x20;

When writing about NDI in press releases, product pages, or news articles, NDI should be followed by the registered symbol on the first instance of the heading, if used in the heading, and at least in the first instance in the body text.&#x20;

NDI reserves the right to ask that additional registered symbols be added to a specific piece of communication.
