Absolutely not. The only way to actually trust the quality of a product is independent testing. Just because a trademark is on a product doesn't mean that every charge has similar quality, that the quality stays the same over longer periods of time, and that a competitor doesn't have better quality.

Looking at only trademarks gets you exactly one thing: an expensive product. Nothing more.

    Uh huh. So are you suggesting you independently test every product at point of sale? Or do you suggest certifying said product and affixing some sort of mark of trade upon it? Maybe even personally testing said product and then identifying it later based on it's mark of trade?

    No.

    A trademark is not solely based on quality, so no.

    Maybe even personally testing said product and then identifying it later based on it's mark of trade?

    No.
