Practice question
A registrant claims Section 147.1 automatically bars an unrelated noncommercial mention that is not use in the course of trade and has no stated confusion basis. Is registration alone enough for that claim?
- Yes, a word can never be mentioned by others.
- Yes, only the owner can pronounce it.
- Yes, every reference is automatically a sale.
- Yes, the goods and use never matter.
- No; the claimed act must fall within the statutory scope rather than a universal word monopoly.
