Regarding the Service Mark registration question, specifically, what is the difference between registering for a Service Mark and registering for a Collective Service Mark?
a Collective Service Mark refers to a very unique type of service mark. Its use is controlled and owned by a single entity, but it may be used to identify the services of other service providers that the owner gives permission to for use of the mark. Think of a dairy collective. A service mark, on the other hand, identifies the services of the applicant itself and the use of the mark is by the applicant itself.
