The Secretary of Agriculture may design, determine and adopt official brands to be used on labels on packages and containers to identify New Jersey produced agricultural products either fresh or processed. The design of such brand or brands may contain the whole or part of the seal of the State of New Jersey or the outline of the map of the State. Each of such brands, when adopted by the Secretary of Agriculture, may be registered as a trade-mark in the office of the Secretary of State under the provisions of chapter three of Title 56 of the Revised Statutes, or any other provision of law which may hereinafter be enacted relating to the registration of trade-marks.
Any such trade-mark shall be registered by the Secretary of State without the exaction of any fee therefor. The Secretary of Agriculture may in his discretion register any such mark with the United States Government and any other State or foreign country.
