Collective Mark :

The new definition of ‘collective mark ‘ has been provided for the benefit of members of an association of persons (but not partnership) and such inclusion of ‘collective mark’ will benefit the traditional Indian family trade marks.

“Collective mark” under Section 2(1)(g) of the Act means a trade mark distinguishing the goods or services of members of an association of persons (not being a partnership within the meaning of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932) which is the proprietor of the mark from those of others.
