Motivation edit

Official trademark database in Australia. Unless we have an item about the specific object the trademark stands for, I think it will often be best applied to the item about the trademark owner (company), so sometimes there will not be a single value. May also be useful in Commons for structured referencing of specific logos. 99of9 (talk) 08:32, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Weak oppose I'm not convinced that use of applies to part (P518) is sound here. It seems like this external identifier is for the trademark, not for the organisation which owns it (which could, in theory, change). Also the proposal domain is currently incorrectly suggested to be taxon. --SilentSpike (talk) 23:15, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for picking up the domain. That's now fixed. I don't think we will (or should) often have an item for the trademark itself, so as mentioned in the motivation, it will usually not be a single-value identifier. I still think it's worth providing links to company logos. If they are freely licensed they can be on Commons with logo image (P154), but that is rare in the space of all logos. If ownership changes hands, I think we could manage that with time-based qualifiers. --99of9 (talk) 00:10, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SilentSpike, 99of9: Perhaps use object has role (P3831) instead of applies to part (P518) and the items would be "colour trademark", "scent trademark", etc (other examples listed at [1]). --Dhx1 (talk) 02:31, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SilentSpike, Dhx1: Good idea, I've switched the examples. --99of9 (talk) 02:45, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
