Section 40

SEC. 40. Collective marks and collective trade-names.— Collective marks and collective trade-names belonging to cooperatives, associations or other collective groups or organization may also be registered under the provisions of this Act, even though the said collectivities may not possess an industrial, commercial or agricultural establishment. Foreign collectivities may not, however, procure such registration if the existence of such collectivities is contrary to the laws of the country of origin. Such collective marks and collective trade-names, when registered, shall be entitled to the protection provided herein in the case of marks and trade-names, except when used so as to represent falsely that the owner or a user makes or sells the goods on which the mark or trade-name is used, or so as to represent falsely the origin of the goods or services. The other provisions of this Act relating to marks and trade-names shall apply to collective marks and collective trade-names, except that the part of paragraph (e), section four, Chapter II hereof, relating to geographically descriptive marks or trade-names shall not be applicable in appropriate cases. A "collective mark" or "collective trade-name" is a mark or trade-name used by the members of a cooperative, an association or other collective group or organization.
