English term or phrase: brand

WHEREAS, P is the owner of the brand names and many registrations of the trademarks S and the goodwill pertaining thereto as used in connection with the manufacture and sale of bicycles, bicycle parts and accessories, and other related products;

I know that "brand" is often translated as "marque" but so is "trademark". I was wondering if there is any way in French to distinguish b/t a brand (name) and a trademark.

marque

Explanation:
Tel que je l'ai vécu aux US, brand est la marque au sens populaire du terme. What brand is it? = c'est de quelle marque?
Mais le terme est utilisé aussi dans les textes sérieux.
Trademark est la marque commerciale. Elle est plus officielle.

Brand trademark existe aussi (dixit Internet) mais là je sèche...
