palvelumerkki
A palvelumerkki, translated as service mark, is a type of trademark used in Finland. Similar to a standard trademark, it is used to identify and distinguish the services of one party from those of others. While trademarks typically apply to goods, a palvelumerkki specifically relates to services. For example, a company offering consulting services might use a palvelumerkki to identify its distinct consulting offerings, differentiating them from competitors.
The registration and protection of a palvelumerkki follow similar procedures to those for trademarks in Finland.
