  360-n.  Forum for actions regarding registration; service on out of
  state registrants.  (a)  Actions  to  require  cancellation  of  a  mark
  registered   pursuant   to   this  article  or  in  mandamus  to  compel
  registration of a mark pursuant to this article shall be brought in  the
  supreme  court.  In an action in mandamus, the proceeding shall be based
  solely  upon  the  record  before  the  secretary.  In  an  action   for

  but shall be notified of the filing of the complaint by the clerk of the
  court in which it is filed and shall be given the right to intervene  in
  the action.
(b)  In  any action brought against a non-resident registrant, service
  may be  effected  upon  the  secretary  as  agent  for  service  of  the
  registrant  in  accordance  with  the procedures established for service
  upon non-resident corporations and business entities.
