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:
“The admission of Oriental immigrants who cannot be amalgamated with our people has been made the subject either of prohibitory clauses in our treaties and statutes or of strict administrative regulations secured by diplomatic negotiations. I sincerely hope that we may continue to minimize the evils likely to arise from such immigration without unnecessary friction and by mutual concessions between self-respecting governments.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
