2009 California Business and Professions Code - Section 14270-14272 :: Article 12. Miscellaneous

14270.  This chapter shall not affect any suit, proceeding, or
appeal pending on January 1, 2008.

14272.  The intent of this chapter is to provide a system of state
trademark registration and protection substantially consistent with
the federal system of trademark registration and protection under the
Trademark Act of 1946 (15 U.S.C. Sec. 1051 et seq.), as amended. To
that end, the construction given the federal act should be examined
as nonbinding authority for interpreting and construing this chapter.
