I am not a lawyer, but during the design of the spec, trademark experts
participated. Trademark is a type of the three types of marks described in
the document. There are some elements that are shared between the three
types of marks, and the first internal spec contemplated another object to
capture the shared elements, but considering that an SMD may contain
several marks, it started to get too complex. We decided that the current
design was easier to implement / understand.
