The EU collective mark indicates that the goods or services protected by that mark originate from members of an association, and may only be used by them.

欧盟集体商标是表示受该商标保护的商品或服务源自协会成员，并且该商标只能由他们使用。

The EU certification mark, however, is an indication that the goods or services meet certain characteristics, as defined in the regulations of use.

然而，欧盟证明商标是指该商标的商品或服务需符合使用法规中定义的某些特征。

证明商标

Certification marks

EU certification marks are a new kind of trade mark in the EUTM system. They are signs which seek to certify certain characteristics of the goods and services (for example, their quality), and it became possible to apply for them as of 1 October 2017.

欧盟证明商标是欧盟商标体系中的一种新型商标。证明商标旨在证明商品和服务的特征（例如：质量）。2017年10月1日起，证明商标才得以被申请。

The EU trade mark Regulation defines an EU certification mark as a mark that is ‘capable of distinguishing goods or services which are certified by the proprietor of the mark in respect of material, mode of manufacture of goods or performance of services, quality, accuracy or other characteristics, with the exception of geographical origin, from goods and services which are not so certified.’ (Article 83(1) EUTMR).

欧盟商标条例将欧盟证明商标定义为“能够在材料、商品制造方式或服务性能、质量、准确性或其他除地理来源外的特性上，将商标所有人的商品或服务与其他不符合这些特性的商品或服务区分开来”的标记。（EUTMR 第 83(1) 条）。

Individual and certification EU trade marks differ in their function, but also in some more formal aspects. One important difference between an individual mark and a certification mark is that the owner of a certification mark (a natural or legal person, an institution, or authorities and bodies governed by public law) cannot run a business involving the supply of the goods and services of the kind certified.

欧盟个人商标和证明商标在其功能上有所不同，在一些更正式的方面也存在不同。两者一个重要的区别是证明商标所有人（自然人或法人、机构或受公法管辖的当局和团体）不能经营涉及供应经认证商品及服务的业务。

EU certification marks: duty of neutrality

欧盟证明商标：中立义务

If you own an EU certification mark, you can certify the goods and services that others will use in their business, but you can’t certify your own goods and services and use it yourself. The owner of the EU certification mark has a duty of neutrality in relation to the interests of the producers of the goods or the suppliers of the services it certifies.

如果您拥有欧盟证明商标，您可以对他人将在其业务中使用的商品和服务进行认证，但您不能对自己的商品和服务进行认证并自行使用。欧盟证明商标的所有者对其认证的商品生产商或服务供应商的利益负有中立义务。

EU certification marks: geographical origin excluded

欧盟证明商标：排除地理来源

Very importantly, an EU certification mark cannot be used to certify the geographical origin of goods and services. The sign, the regulations governing use and the list of goods and services are covered by this prohibition.

非常重要的是，欧盟证明商标不能用于证明商品和服务的地理来源。该标志、其使用规定以及商品和服务清单均受此禁令约束。

In essence, an EU certification mark relates to the guarantee of specific characteristics of certain goods and services. There are four things to remember when applying for an EU certification mark:

从本质上讲，欧盟证明商标可保证某些商品和服务的特定特征。申请欧盟证明商标时需要注意以下四点：

1. Like an individual mark, an EU certification mark must be a sign capable of being represented on the Register of EU trade marks. In addition, that sign should be able to distinguish the goods and services that are certified from others that are not so certified.

1. 与个人商标一样，欧盟证明商标须是能够显示在欧盟商标注册簿上的标志。此外，欧盟证明商标需能够将获得认证的商品和服务与其他未获得认证的商品和服务区分开来。

2. When you apply for an EU certification mark, you must state very clearly that you are doing so (through a clear indication of the kind of mark in the application).

2. 当您申请欧盟证明商标时，必须非常清楚地说明证明商标的申请事宜（通过在申请中明确说明商标的类型）。

3. You have to apply for your EU certification mark in respect of the goods and services that will be certified by you as the owner of the mark.

3. 您申请的欧盟证明商标，其商品和服务必须是商标所有人将认证的商品和服务。

4. You need to include the regulations governing use of the EU certification mark for which you are applying. The regulations governing use are the essence of the EU certification mark. They have to be filed within two months of the application and need to contain, in particular:

4. 您需要提交申请的欧盟证明商标使用规定。欧盟证明商标使用规定这点极为重要，且必须在申请后的两个月内提交，需要包含，尤其是：

（1）the declaration by the applicant that it does not carry on a business involving the supply of goods or services of the kind certified;

（1）申请人需提交声明，说明其不从事供应认证商品或者服务的业务；

（2）the characteristics of the goods or services to be certified;

（2）被认证商品或服务的特征；

（3）the conditions governing the use of the EU certification mark;

（3）欧盟证明商标的使用条件；

（4）the testing and supervision measures to be applied by you as the EU certification mark owner.

（4）您作为欧盟证明商标所有人采取检测和监督的措施。

集体商标

Collective marks

The EU collective mark indicates the commercial origin of certain goods and services by informing the consumer that the producer of the goods or the service provider belongs to a certain association and that it has the right to use the mark.

欧盟集体商标向消费者表明商品的生产商或服务提供商属于某个协会且协会有权使用该商标，从而体现某些商品和服务的商业来源。

The EU trade mark Regulation defines a collective mark as a mark that is ‘capable of distinguishing the goods or services of the members of the association which is the proprietor of the mark from those of other undertakings.’ (Article 74 EUTMR).

欧盟商标条例将集体商标定义为“能够将商标所有人协会成员的商品或服务与其他企业的商品或服务区分开来”的标记。（EUTMR 第 74 条）

EU collective marks can be used to build consumer confidence in the products or services offered under the collective mark. They are often used to identify products or services of producers that have similar interests.

欧盟集体商标可用于建立消费者对集体商标供应商品或服务的信赖度，此外也通常用于区分具有相似利益生产者的产品或服务。

EU Collective marks: who can apply

欧盟集体商标：谁可以申请

Only associations of manufacturers, producers, suppliers of services or traders, as well as legal persons governed by public law (provided that they have a similar organisation to that of associations), may apply for EU collective marks.

只有制造商、生产商、服务供应商或贸易商的协会，以及受公法管辖的法人（前提是他们拥有与协会类似的组织）才能申请欧盟集体商标。

EU Collective marks: geographical origin

欧盟集体商标：地理来源

It is possible to register an EU collective mark which designates the geographical origin of the goods or services it covers. The regulations governing use must then explicitly authorise anyone whose goods and services originate in the geographical area in question to become a member of the association that owns the mark (Article 75(2) EUTMR).

欧盟集体商标可以指明其涵盖的商品或服务的地理来源。其使用规定必须明确源于该地理区域的商品/服务的供应商可以成为持有该集体商标的协会的成员。（EUTMR 第 75(2) 条）

The regulations governing use form an integral part of any collective mark. They have to be filed within two months of the application:

欧盟集体商标的使用规定极为重要，且必须在申请后的两个月内提交：

（1）They should specify the persons authorised to use the mark and the conditions for membership of the association. They can also include the conditions of use of the mark.

（1）使用规定应指明有权使用该商标的人员以及协会成员资质要求，还可包括商标的使用条件。

（2）If the collective mark describes the geographical indication of the goods and services it covers, the regulations governing use must contain the specific authorisation for anyone whose goods and services originate in the geographical area in question to become a member of the association that owns the mark.

（2）如果集体商标描述了其涵盖的商品和服务的地理标志，则使用规定必须包含特定授权，允许供应源自该地理区域的商品/服务的任何人成为商标所有人协会的成员。
