Sometimes we will see "green food mark" and "geographical indication of China" written on the trademark. This kind of trademark is a certification trademark. What exactly does the certification trademark mean? A certification trademark is a trademark controlled by an organization that has the ability to detect and supervise a certain commodity or service, but used by people other than it to prove the origin, raw materials, manufacturing methods, quality, accuracy or other specific qualities of the commodity or service.

there are two types of certification marks: one is the certification mark of origin, which proves that the goods or services themselves come from a certain origin, which is a geographical indication, and the name of origin can also be registered as a certification mark under certain circumstances; The other kind is a quality certification trademark, which is a sign that a commodity or service has a certain quality.

To apply for trademark certification, you need to submit the following materials: Application for Trademark Registration; A copy of the applicant's main qualification certificate affixed with the seal of the applicant, and a detailed description of the professional technicians and professional testing equipment it has or the institutions entrusted by it, so as to show that it has the ability to test and supervise the quality of the specific goods proved by the certification trademark; Rules for the administration of the use of certification trademarks; If you come directly to the trademark registration hall to apply for registration, you must submit the ID card and a copy of the agent (the original will be returned after comparison); Where a trademark agency is entrusted to apply for registration, a power of attorney for trademark agency shall be submitted.

the process of certifying trademark application is: pre-application inquiry-preparation of application documents-submission of application documents in the acceptance window of trademark registration hall-confirmation of submission of registration application in the coding window-payment of trademark registration fees and receipt of fees in the payment window. After the applicant receives the receipt, the work of submitting the application for trademark registration has been completed.
