California Codes, Business and Professions Code - BPC, Division 6 — Business Rights, Chapter 2 — Model State Trademark Law, Article 9 — Violations, Section 14259

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.
