Trademarks and trade names-administrative cancellation.
This Wyoming bill (SF 53) allows the Secretary of State to administratively cancel trademarks, service marks, or trade names when a registrant provides fraudulent information or fails to correct false details after being notified. It directly affects trademark owners who submitted inaccurate information on official filings. Key provisions require the Secretary to send written notice of cancellation grounds, give registrants 60 days to respond, and allow a 30-day appeal to district court if cancellation occurs. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
