Summary
By using an economic analysis of trademark law, Alexander Bathelt examines to what extent legal principles developed for the infringement and use of individual trademarks apply to certification marks. The search cost rationale affects the economic justification for well-known marks as well as the trademark use by third parties. After all, the certification mark is less a property right but rooted in unfair competition law.
