Sec. 16.004. WHEN MARK CONSIDERED TO BE ABANDONED

Latest version.

(a) A mark is considered to be abandoned when:
(1) the mark's use has been discontinued with intent not to resume the use; or
(2) the owner's conduct, including an omission or commission of an act, causes the mark to lose its significance as a mark.
(b) Intent not to resume use of a mark under Subsection (a)(1) may be inferred from the circumstances.
(c) Nonuse of a mark as described by Subsection (a)(1) for three consecutive years constitutes prima facie evidence of the mark's abandonment.
