: Hello,
: Can exhibiting products at a large international trade show held in the US be considered for "use in interstate commerce", as long as they are exhibited under the trademarked name, or do the products have to actually be sold interstate?
: Thank you.
A US trademark is federally registerable if the mark is use in interstate or international commerce. I do no believe that that an exhibit, domestic or foreign is a "use". A US proposed use trademark application provides US protection and treaty protection to save a mark that is displayed and not "used".
