| Â | Collective trade marks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Collective trade marks ( frequently referred to as collective marks) are exceptions to the underlying principle of trade marks in that most trade marks serve as "badges of origin" - they indicate the individual source of the goods or services. | | | The main difference is that collective trade marks may be used by particular members of the organisation which owns them, while certification marks may be used by anybody who complies with the standards defined by the owner of the particular certification mark. | | | Paris Convention also requires signatories "to accept for filing and to protect collective marks belonging to associations the existence of which is not contrary to the law of the country of origin, even if such organisations do not possess an industrial or commercial establishment." |

| | Trade marks law permits an entire industry or trade to protect itself by the registration of a collective mark to indicate a trade connection between goods or services bearing the mark and the association which owns the mark. | | | A collective mark must, in the first instance, meet the acceptance requirements for "ordinary" trade marks. | | | The association which owns the collective mark may set its own standards which its members must meet when using the mark, but, unlike the position with a certification mark, it does not have to set any such standards. |

| Â | Collective Marks |
| | Collective marks are in the process of being added to the trademark law in India and the author encourages registration of such marks for non-profit and other associations, for example, especially where previously such groups were limited to attempting to secure the more difficult and limited Certification Mark. | | | GIs and Certification marks and traditional trademarks can serve as source-identifiers — but GIs and Certification Marks serve to identify goods as originating in a particular territory or locality, process, etc., rather than to distinguish the specific goods and/or services of the trademark owner. | | | Therefore, GIs and Certification marks are less valuable to the individual business owner because of the lack of specific association between the mark and the particular goods/services of the owner(s). |

| Â | Using Collective Marks for the Protection of Traditional Products |
| | The Italian law establishes that the subject, that holds the function of granting the origin, the nature or the quality of certain products or services, can obtain the registration of a collective mark and allow its use to producers or dealers. | | | Even with some specificity, this distinction is well present, for instance, in the US or UK between “collective mark”; and “certification mark”;, in France between “marque collective”; and “marque collective de certification”, in Spain between “marca colectiva” and “marca de garantía”. | | | 89/104 seems restrictive in the part stating that the geographical collective mark does not authorize its proprietor to forbid third parties the use of signs or indications that designate the geographical origin of the products when they are in conformity with the habitual uses of fairness in the industrial or commercial field. |
