Pintz & Partners is a reputable patent, trademark, and law firm offering comprehensive services in Europe. In addition to individual marks, they also specialize in two other types of trade marks: certification marks and collective marks. Collective marks serve to distinguish the goods or services of civil society organizations' members from those of others based on characteristics such as quality and origin.

The proprietors of collective trade marks are the organizations themselves, and they have the responsibility to supervise the mark's use by their members. Failure to do so could lead to invalidation. Applications for the registration of collective marks must include a regulation that outlines various aspects such as membership conditions, conditions of mark use, and provisions for supervision and proceedings against unauthorized use.

While official fees for registration are higher compared to regular trade marks, Pintz & Partners can provide guidance on potentially lowering costs through licensing opportunities.
