Do I need to be a member if I sell Bluetooth enabled products as my own but do not use the Bluetooth trademark?

Regardless if a company uses the Bluetooth trademarks (Bluetooth word mark, figure mark, and combination mark) to market its product as Bluetooth enabled, a member company must be compliant with the Bluetooth Patent & Copyright License Agreement. Companies are encouraged to review the conditions of the license agreements and consult their legal counsel with any questions regarding the applicable requirements.

Your company should become a member of the Bluetooth SIG and complete the Qualification Program if it builds, brands, or otherwise represents Bluetooth enabled products as your own. Only members of the Bluetooth SIG can receive the benefits of the license grants per the terms of the Bluetooth Trademark License Agreement and the Bluetooth Patent & Copyright License Agreement.
