They are consequently removeable (from the register) for nonuse Explanation: A §8 Declaration of Continued Use is a sworn statement, filed by the owner of a registration, that the mark is in use in commerce. Section 8 of the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. §1058. If the owner is claiming excusable nonuse of the mark, a §8 Declaration of Excusable Nonuse may be filed. The purpose of the §8 Declaration is to remove marks no longer in use from the register. Reference: http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks-maintaining-trademark-regist... |

They may consequently be revoked for non-use. Explanation: 1. Articles 10 and 12 of Directive 104/89 and Article 15 and 50 CTMR set out the law governing the circumstances in which national and Community trade marks may be revoked for non-use. http://oami.europa.eu/en/office/admin/liaison/pdf/UK_revocat... Article 50 Grounds for revocation 1. The rights of the proprietor of the Community trade mark shall be declared to be revoked on application to the Office or on the basis of a counterclaim in infringement proceedings: (a) if, within a continuous period of five years, the trade mark has not been put to genuine use in the Community in connection with the goods or services in respect of which it is registered, and there are no proper reasons for non-use; http://oami.europa.eu/en/mark/aspects/pdf/4094enCV.pdf Article 50 Causes de déchéance 1. Le titulaire de la marque communautaire est déclaré déchu de ses droits, sur demande présentée auprès de l’Office ou sur demande reconventionnelle dans une action en contrefaçon: a) si, pendant une période ininterrompue de cinq ans, la marque n’a pas fait l’objet d’un usage sérieux dans la Communauté pour les produits ou les services pour lesquels elle est enregistrée, et qu’il n’existe pas de justes motifs pour le non-usage; http://oami.europa.eu/fr/mark/aspects/pdf/4094frCV.pdf Revocation: If a CTM is not genuinely used for a period of five years from the registration date, it may be revoked for non-use (Article 50 of the CTM Regulation). http://www.worldtrademarkreview.com/Intelligence/Yearbook/20... |
