Model State Trademark Law: cancellation.
Summary
Existing law, the Model State Trademark Law, provides for the registration of trademarks and service marks with the Secretary of State. Existing law requires the secretary to cancel from the register, in whole or in part, specified registrations, including, among others, any registration with regard to which a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the mark is or has become the generic name for the goods and services, or a portion thereof, for which it has been registered. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.

MINOR
No substantive policy changes were made between these two versions. The diff reflects only a difference in how the same bill text was captured: the first version is a plain-text document rendering, while the second is a web page scrape from the California Legislature website that includes navigation menus, search boxes, and other UI elements. The actual legislative language of Section 14230 is identical in both versions.
TECHNICAL
The bill text was re-rendered from a plain document format to a web page layout, adding navigation elements (home, accessibility, FAQ, search boxes, share buttons) and restructuring the presentation of the same statutory language. No words in the operative bill text were added, removed, or changed.
