| The EU operates quality and origin certification schemes that can in principle apply to algae and algal products. This chapter covers the regulatory framework for Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG), and the EU organic logo, as well as the EU Ecolabel. These schemes provide market differentiation tools for producers meeting the specified quality, origin or production standards. | The EU operates quality and origin certification schemes that can in principle apply to algae and algal products.

| __Relevance to algae:__ The EU Trade Mark (EUTM) is a unitary trade mark right valid across all EU member states, registered through EUIPO (EU Intellectual Property Office). Unlike PDO/PGI (which protect geographical names for communities of producers), an EUTM protects a specific brand or mark belonging to its owner. Algae companies protecting brand names, logos, and product names used in EU markets should consider EU trade mark registration alongside national trade mark protections. EUTMs provide cost-effective EU-wide protection (one registration covering all member states) and are increasingly important as algae brands expand cross-border. | __Relevance to algae:__ The EU Trade Mark (EUTM) is a unitary trade mark right valid across all EU member states, registered through EUIPO (EU Intellectual Property Office).
