Collective Trade Mark - Regulations On Use

Regulations On Use

National trade mark laws in some countries (such as Finland, Germany, Hungary and Switzerland) provide for the filing of the regulations as an additional requirement for registration of the collective trade mark.

The regulations shall normally specify:

  • the name and seat of the organization,
  • information on the members authorized to use the collective trade mark, including their names, addresses and seats,
  • the conditions of membership,
  • the conditions of use of the collective trade mark,
  • the prescriptions relating to the control of the use of the collective trade mark,
  • the order of proceedings against unauthorized use of the collective trade mark.

The main purpose of the regulations is to protect consumers against misleading practices.

Famous quotes containing the word regulations:

    If the veil were withdrawn from the sanctuary of domestic life, and man could look upon the fear, the loathing, the detestations which his tyranny and reckless gratification of self has caused to take the place of confiding love, which placed a woman in his power, he would shudder at the hideous wrong of the present regulations of the domestic abode.
