Bill Summary

A BILL To modify the prohibition on recognition by United States courts of certain rights relating to certain marks, trade names, or commercial names.

AI Summary

This bill, the "No Stolen Trademarks Honored in America Act," proposes to modify the existing prohibition on U.S. courts from recognizing certain rights related to trademarks, trade names, or commercial names that were used in connection with a business or assets that were confiscated. The key changes are: (1) removing the requirement that the trademark, trade name, or commercial name was used by a "designated national"; (2) specifying that the prohibition applies only if the person or entity asserting the rights knew or had reason to know that the mark, trade name, or commercial name was the same as or substantially similar to one used in connection with a confiscated business or assets, unless the original owner or their successor-in-interest has expressly consented; and (3) making other technical changes to the existing law.
