IP Insights. Use of common and warranty marks

In our previous materials we showed how to demonstrate genuine use of registered individual trademarks. Today’s issue covers the problem of genuine use of two different, less common types of trademarks, namely collective and certification marks. The material was prepared by Maciej Majewski.

In the latest edition of IP Insights, you will learn:

• What exactly are collective trademarks and certification trademarks?
• What requirements must they meet and who can use them?
• How important is the proper alignment of the trademark category with its intended use?

We invite you to take a look at the material!
