Pick the Type of Mark you are registering

Trademark Definition: A trademark is a sign, symbol, word, or phrase legally registered or established by use as representing a company or product. It identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others.

Typical Use: Trademarks are used on products (goods) manufactured or sold by a particular company. This includes brand names, slogans, logos, and even distinctive packaging or unique product shapes.

Purpose: The primary purpose of a trademark is to prevent confusion in the marketplace by making it easy for consumers to identify and select products from a particular source they trust.

Service Mark Definition: A service mark is similar to a trademark but is used to identify and distinguish the services of one provider from those of others, rather than goods.

Typical Use: They are often used for advertising services, like the names of hotel chains, educational services, financial services, or restaurant services.

Purpose: Service marks help consumers identify the source of a service rather than a physical product. They indicate the quality and consistency of the service provided.

Collective Mark Definition: A collective mark is used by members of a collective group or organization to indicate membership in the group or to identify and distinguish products or services of members from those of non-members.

Typical Use: These marks are often used by associations, cooperatives, unions, and other organized collectives. Examples include union labels or a logo used by the members of a cooperative.

Purpose: The main goal is to signify membership in a group with a certain level of quality, accuracy, or other characteristics set by the organization.

Certification Mark Definition: A certification mark is used to show consumers that particular goods and/or services, or their providers, have met certain standards. Unlike the other types of marks, a certification mark is not used by its owner but by authorized users.

Typical Use: These marks are commonly seen in products or services that meet certain environmental, quality, accuracy, or material standards. Examples include the "UL" (Underwriters Laboratories) mark on electrical products or organic food certifications.

Purpose: Certification marks assure consumers that the products or services bearing the mark comply with certain standards of quality, manufacture, geography, or other criteria set by the certifying organization.

Each of these marks plays a crucial role in commerce by helping consumers make informed decisions and by promoting fair competition among businesses. They are legal tools that protect the reputation and brand identity of companies and organizations, ensuring that the public can trust the quality and origins of products and services they use.

Explanation: This section is crucial for defining the scope of your trademark protection. You must accurately classify the goods or services with which your mark is or will be used. Classification helps in determining the filing fees and can affect the breadth of protection granted by your trademark. Use the USPTO's Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual at https://tmidm.uspto.gov/id-master-list-public.html to assist you in finding the appropriate class for your goods or services. If your trademark will be used with multiple different types of goods or services, you may need to list multiple classes.
