Who owns the FHIR trademarks according to the policy?

• A. IEEE
• B. Health Level Seven International
• C. World Health Organization
• D. NIST

Answer: (B)

Ownership of the FHIR trademark rests with Health Level Seven International, the standards development organization that created and maintains the FHIR specification. HL7 holds the trademark to protect branding and ensure consistent, authorized use of the FHIR name and logo. Using the FHIR mark typically requires following HL7's trademark policy and obtaining proper permission or licensing to avoid misrepresentation or implying endorsement by HL7. The other entities listed do not own the FHIR trademark, though they may reference or participate in healthcare interoperability efforts.
