Wuchang Rice is a collective trademark or a certification trademark?
"Wuchang rice" is a special product of wuchang city, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China. The wuchang city Rice Association has registered relevant trademarks, which belong to the geographical indication certification trademark, and have the dual attributes of geographical indication and certification trademark, which not only indicates the origin, but also marks the quality of goods.

according to article 123 of the civil code, the logo consisting of "country of origin+commodity name" is called "geographical indication" and can be protected as an independent intellectual property object. Common trademarks are commonly used in daily shopping to identify the source of goods or services. When a geographical indication is applied for registration as a certification trademark, it becomes an integral part of the registered trademark, which proves that the goods using this symbol meet certain quality standards.

if you want to use the certification mark legally, the necessary conditions are indispensable. The place of origin of goods shall conform to the geographical scope delineated by the certification trademark, and the quality of products shall also conform to the corresponding requirements for appearance and quality. In addition, it is necessary to apply to the registrant of the certification trademark and complete the relevant procedures, such as signing the License Contract, obtaining the Permit, the Certification Trademark Mark, and paying the management fee.
