Official Insignia of Native American Tribes; Statutorily Required Study
On October 30, 1998, President Clinton signed Public Law 105- 330. This law requires that the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) study a variety of issues surrounding trademark protection for the official insignia of federally and/or state recognized Native American tribes. The new law requires that the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks (Commissioner) complete the study and submit a report, including the findings and conclusions, to the chairmen of the Committee on the judiciary of the Senate and the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives, not later than September 30, 1999. This notice requests input that will help the PTO make an initial determination of how best to conduct the study, where public hearings should be held, and who should be consulted during the study process.
