A lot of us might have commonly heard the word Trademark. However, usually, when we come across terms like Collective marks or Certification Marks, we get confused. Are these terms similar to each other? Are there more alternatives available to Trademark? Are these genesis of Trademark or Are they a separate category?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, a certification mark is used for a different purpose than a traditional trademark. Although certification marks aren\u2019t as common as traditional trademarks, they are still as important for organizations, businesses, and associations as traditional trademarks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, we are surrounded by various logos and marks which instantly make us resemble the product or the service they belong to. Be it a half-bitten apple (Apple), a black tick (Nike), a lady in a green circle (Starbucks), or a big yellow colored \u2018M\u2019 (McDonald\u2019s). A lot of you might have resonated with these brands through their logos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, let\u2019s discuss some useful information about the basics of trademarks and certification trademarks and the role that they play in our regular lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border: 1px solid #555;\"><b>Table of Content<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#Synopsis\">Synopsis<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#Trademark\">Trademark<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#Certification\">Certification Trademark<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#of\">Usage of Trademark and Certification Trademark<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#in\">Examples of Certification Trademarks in India<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#and\">The similarity between Trademark and Certification Trademark<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#Differences\">Trademark and Certification Trademark Differences<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#to\">How to choose between a Trademark and a Certification Mark?<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#Benefits\">Benefits of Certification Trademark<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#a\">Benefits of a Trademark<\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"#FAQs\">FAQs<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"Synopsis\"><b>Synopsis<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A certification trademark is used for a different purpose than a regular trademark.
