Usage notes
- Use marchio for commercial brands and trademarks; marca is more common in everyday speech for a product's brand.
- For legal contexts, marchio is preferred: registrare un marchio, violazione del marchio.
- Don't confuse marchio with segno or etichetta; those mean a sign/mark or a physical label, not necessarily a brand.
