I think it's a clever idea, an "open trademark".
Independent certification that something fits a brand but anyone is allowed to use the brand if they pass certification.
It would need a non-profit or government support though.
Things like "Organic" already do that a bit, but it doesn't work too well over there.

But then it’s not public domain (which was the argument I was replying to). Public domain means everyone can do it without permission, while applying for a certification still requires a governing body which has the ultimate power. > Things like "Organic" already do that a bit That’s a classification, not a trademark.
