今天收到ZigBee联盟的公开信,内容如下。大家自己看看吧,我就不多说了。 Dear ZigBee Alliance Members and Interested Stakeholders: 亲爱的 ZigBee 联盟成员与有意向的利益相关者: A Chinese company named “Wulian” (also operating under the name “Nanjing IoT”) has been misrepresenting itself as the ZigBee Alliance in China and other areas, despite the fact that they have no present affiliation with the ZigBee Alliance. Moreover, Wulian has been inaccurately and intentionally mis-advertising its products as "ZigBee Certified," which they are not. The ZigBee Alliance takes these transgressions very seriously and is taking active steps to resolve this issue. Promoting and protecting the interests of the stakeholder members of the ZigBee Alliance is of utmost importance. This news bulletin serves to notify you of this situation and to inform you of the actions being taken to rectify it. The ZigBee Alliance (an IRS 501(c)(3) corporation registered in California, USA) remains the sole global developer and owner of the unique “ZigBee” standards and the ZigBee Certification program for wireless device-to-device communication based on IEEE 802.15.4. Any other entity making these claims, such as Wulian, is improper and in violation of the ZigBee Alliance’s intellectual property rights, as it seeks to unfairly capitalize on the work and investment of the hundreds of legitimate ZigBee Alliance member companies who rely on fair and open markets for free trade. While we have attempted in good faith to amicably correct this situation directly with Wulian, they refuse to comply. Subsequently, the ZigBee Alliance has taken steps to address these issues, including contacting appropriate U.S. and other country trade representatives, filing objections to Wulian's use of the ZigBee trademark and name, and contacting the Chinese Trademark Office (CTMO). We will request and expect a fair hearing through the regular and official avenues of the Chinese government. While the actions of this one rogue player are of serious concern, we remain excited and confident about the opportunity ahead for ZigBee Alliance stakeholders as we enable the vast benefits of the Internet of Things. The ZigBee Alliance will provide you with additional information and updates as necessary. In the meantime, we encourage you to visit the www.ZigBee.org website where you can consult our member listing to ensure that you are dealing with legitimate ZigBee Alliance member companies who bring to market true ZigBee Certified products. We welcome interested companies to join the hundreds of ZigBee Alliance member companies who are realizing the Internet of Things today. 亲爱的 ZigBee 联盟成员与有意向的利益相关者: 特此通告,尽管目前与 Zigbee 联盟无任何关联,一家名叫“物联”(也在“南京物联”名下经营 )的公司在中国及其他地区谎称其代表 Zigbee 联盟。此外,“物联”错误并故意为其产品做广告 ,称其产品经过“Zigbee”认证,而事实上其产品从未经过 Zigbee 认证。 Zigbee 联盟将严肃处理此类违反,并正在采取积极的措施解决此问题。推广和保护 ZigBee 联盟利益相关成员的利益至关重要。此新闻公告旨在告知您此情况,并告知您需要解决此问题可采取的 措施。 ZigBee 联盟(一家美国国税局 501(c)(3)公司,注册于美国加利福尼亚州)仍是全球独特的“ ZigBee”标准以及基于 IEEE802.15.4 无线设备到设备通信 ZigBee 认证项目的唯一开发者和所有者。做出此类不实宣称的其他任何实体,如物联,均为不正当行为,且违反了 ZigBee 联盟的知识产权,因为它有失公平地利用了数百个合法 ZigBee 联盟成员公司的工作和投资,而我们的成员公司依赖公平开放的投资市场以进行自由交易。 尽管我们尝试本着真诚、友好的态度直接与“物联”解决此情况,但该公司拒绝遵守。随后, ZigBee 联盟已采取各项措施来解决该问题,包括联系美国和其他国家相关的贸易代表,投诉物联滥用 ZigBee 的商标和名称,并联系了中国商标局。我们会要求并期待通过中国政府的常规和正式途径,以获取一个公平的听证会。 虽然这家流氓公司的行为令人担忧,但我们仍然非常兴奋,自信地看到位于 ZigBee 联盟利益相关者面前的机会,我们将给物联网带来巨大的利益。 如有必要,ZigBee 联盟将为您提供更多的信息和更新信息。在此期间,我们建议您浏览 www.ZigBee.org 网站,您还可以查询我们的成员名单,以确保您正与合法的 ZigBee 联盟成员公司 展开合作,而这些公司将为市场带来真正的 ZigBee 认证产品。我们欢迎有兴趣的公司加入数以百计的 ZigBee 联盟成员公司,今天就与我们共同实现物联网。 Regards, Tobin J.M. Richardson President CEO, ZigBee Alliance
