AI Summary
This bill makes technical corrections to the State Trademarks Act. It amends section 3 of chapter 110H to clarify that trademark applications must be accompanied by a specimen showing the mark as it is actually used. The bill also adds a new section 18 to chapter 110H, which states that the intent of the chapter is to provide a system of state trademark registration and protection that is substantially consistent with the federal trademark system, and that the construction of the federal Trademark Act should be examined as persuasive authority for interpreting and construing the state law. Finally, the bill amends sections of chapter 156D of the General Laws to update references to trademarks and service marks registered under chapters 110B and 110H.
