Legal Term Protectability of a mark is A mark is capable of being registered by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and protected in the courts as long as the mark (1) is not being used by someone else; (2) is not forbidden; (3) is distinctive; and (4) is being used in commerce to allow consumers to identify one brand, and distinguish it from others. If a mark is not distinctive, it may still be registered on the Supplemental Register, but it will not receive protection in the courts, nor will it receive the many benefits of a being on the Principal Register.Legal Term arrest is Taking an adult or juvenile into physical custody by authority of law, for the purpose of charging the person with a criminal offense or a delinquent act or status offense, terminating with the recording of a specific offense.

Legal Term Assignment of trademark is An assignment is the legal transfer of ownership of any property such as a trademark or copyright from the owner to another party, who then becomes the new owner. The assignee is the person who acquires ownership, and assignor is the person who transfers ownership rights. To be effective, a trademark assignment must include the transfer of the goodwill accrued in the assigned mark beyond mere assignment of the mark itself. Traditionally, courts have required the transfer of tangible assets along with the mark such as plant inventory, or product formula or know-how. However, more recently some courts have taken a more liberal view of assignments and do not require the transfer of such tangible assets. However, the assignee must continue to sell goods or services of the same quality and nature as the assignor to ensure that goodwill has indeed passed with the mark. See PepsiCo, Inc. v. Grapette Co., 416 F.2d 285 (8th Cir. 1969). When a registered trademark is assigned, it is a good idea to record the assignment with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
