It can be often used for the following purposes:
Replace a Lost Original
Keeping the original certificate of trademark registration is important. However, if you have lost or misplaced it you can easily order a certified copy.
Provide Proof of Ownership and Registration
Trademark owners may encounter times when they have to prove they own the mark, or that the mark has been officially registered for specific goods and services. For example, a certified copy can be used to aid in a trademark infringement case, obtain registration in foreign countries, or stop importation of infringing foreign goods by filing it with the U.S. Customs Service.
