Model State Trademark Law: cancellation.

Existing law, the Model State Trademark Law, provides for the registration of trademarks and service marks with the Secretary of State. Existing law requires the secretary to cancel from the register, in whole or in part, specified registrations, including, among others, any registration with regard to which a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the mark is or has become the generic name for the goods and services, or a portion thereof, for which it has been registered. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
