California Codes, Business and Professions Code - BPC, Division 6 — Business Rights, Chapter 2 — Model State Trademark Law, Article 12 — Miscellaneous, Section 14272
The intent of this chapter is to provide a system of state trademark registration and protection substantially consistent with the federal system of trademark registration and protection under the Trademark Act of 1946 (15 U.S.C. Sec. 1051 et seq.), as amended. To that end, the construction given the federal act should be examined as nonbinding authority for interpreting and construing this chapter.
Notes
Establishes legislative intent rather than an operative compliance rule: the chapter is intended to create a state trademark registration and protection system substantially consistent with the federal Trademark Act of 1946. Federal judicial or administrative construction of that act should be examined when interpreting the chapter, but only as nonbinding authority.
