Spanish term or phrase: contramarca (en comercio)
Sé que existe "contramarca" en español, pero no encuentro referencia a una hipotética "countermark" en inglés. ¿Alguna sugerencia?

Mi contexto:
"...aunque los dos tipos representen vías de diferenciación diferentes, no resultan excluyentes y de hecho pueden darse simultáneamente, por ejemplo mediante la utilización conjunta de marcas comerciales y contramarcas geográficas."

Un ejemplo tomado de un reglamento de depósitos de mercancías:
"c) Descripción de la mercadería o bienes (cantidad, unidad de medida, calidad, marcas, contramarcas, etc.)"

¡Gracias!
