Parties can use the certification mark as long as the goods or services provided conforms the characteristics and fulfills the registrant s prescriptive procedure, and the registrant shall not refuse the use. Certification marks are commonly used by several parties, so the registration, use and management shall be made public by formulating unified management rules, which could be supervised by all sectors of society and protect the characteristics of the goods or services in order to safeguard the interests of consumers. Collective marks mean signs which are registered in the name of bodies, associations or other organizations to be used by the members thereof in their commercial activities to indicate their membership of the organizations. Collective marks are not registered by individually owned enterprises but the organization constituted with several enterprises. Collective mark could be used on goods and also on services, which are commonly used by members in the organization. The ones who are non-members shall not use it, and it shall not be transferred. To adapt the commonly owned and commonly use of collective mark, its registration, use and management should be made public by formulating unified management rules, which could be supervised by members of the organization. The period of validity for certification marks and collective marks is 10 years, calculating the exclusive right from the approval of registration date. Ⅱ. Filing methods There are two methods for filing certification marks and collective marks: 1. To entrust the recorded trademark agency before Trademark Office to file the application. 2.
