Why do I need a trademark registration certificate?

The registration certificate proofs that your trademark is registered, thus it is protected.

In most of the countries, without payment and obtaining of the registration certificate, the trademark registration procedure appears to be not finalized. This is an important inconvenience, especially if the database is public and encourages different kind of infringements of ownership rights.

In some countries, if the registration certificate is not obtained, the registration procedure is not considered finalized, thus the trademark is not considered registered.
