Sec. 133.15  Term of Customs trade name recordation.

    Protection for a recorded trade name shall remain in force as long 
as the trade name is used. The recordation shall be canceled upon 
request of the recordant or upon evidence of disuse. From time to time,

to advise whether the name is still in use. The failure of a trade name 
owner to respond to such a request shall be regarded as evidence of 
disuse.
