: In the "Basic facts about trademarks" booklet put out by the PTO it states that registration is based on use in commerce and that purely local commerce is not enough it must be interstate commerce. HOWEVER, the experts (?) at the USPTO laugh at the mention of that booklet and say where the commerce is has nothing to do with registerability and that interstate commerce IS NOT a requirement. Anyone know who's right?

Dear Andy,

Either you don't understand or someone has given you a bum steer.

Do it yourself lawyering is like playing Russian Roulette with five chambers loaded. You also have to find a lawyer you can trust.
