Notes

Limits this chapter from adversely affecting rights in marks that were acquired in good faith under common law or the enforcement of those rights. The provision preserves qualifying common-law mark rights regardless of when they were acquired, so registration rules in this chapter do not extinguish or impair preexisting or later good-faith common-law rights or their enforcement.
