Subpart F--Trademark Cancellation Procedure

Sec. 1.51  Applications.

    Applications for the institution of proceedings for the cancellation 
of registration of trade, service, or certification marks under the 
Trade-Mark Act of 1946 may be filed with the Secretary of the 
Commission. Such applications shall be in writing, signed by or in 
behalf of the applicant, and should identify the registration concerned 
and contain a short and simple statement of the facts constituting the 
alleged basis for cancellation, the name and address of the applicant, 
together with all relevant and available information. If, after 
consideration of the application, or upon its own initiative, the 
Commission concludes that cancellation of the mark may be warranted, it 
will institute a proceeding before the Commissioner of Patents for 
cancellation of the registration.
