Bleaching the stain of Clorox, a trademark trap for the unwary
Article Abstract:
The Patent and Trademark Office's Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ruled in the 1996 Clorox decision that assigning an intent-to-use trademark application invalidated the very registration that ultimately matured from that application. The case raises both substantive and disclosure concerns that apply to all trademark owners, whether or not franchisors, that have acquired marks by assignment, transferred them from one affiliate or subsidiary to another, or used them as security for a loan.
