California AB2210 amends the Business and Professions Code to revise the conditions for trademark registration cancellation.

California AB2210 amends Section 14230 of the Business and Professions Code to specify conditions under which the secretary of state can cancel a trademark registration. The bill allows for cancellation if the registrant fails to pay the filing fee, if the registration was granted improperly, obtained fraudulently, or has become generic. It also permits cancellation if a court finds the mark to be likely to cause confusion or mistake, or to deceive. The bill provides a process for voluntary cancellation requests and requires the secretary to notify registrants before cancellation.
