Yes, a registered trademark is required to qualify for BIMI. Your organization’s logo must be trademarked in one of the regions listed above to meet its requirements.
BIMI trademarks support the use of multiple domains but allow only one logo. Separate logos require their own trademark registrations.
Government organizations can get a VMC without a trademark by providing documentation of government authorization for their logo.
