A competitor uses a registered mark's descriptive term solely as an accurate description of product quality, in good faith and without misleading the public about source. Section 148's conditions are established. Can registration alone preclude that qualified use?

- Yes, accurate information is always forbidden.
- Yes, the owner may erase the limitation.
- No; the statutory bona fide informational-use limitation applies.
- Yes, source confusion is irrelevant to the limitation.
