		<description><![CDATA[Before a mark can be registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office  an applicant must demonstrate the mark’s “Use in Commerce”.  Simply meeting the evidentiary burdens of the USPTO application, however, does not necessarily mean your registered mark will stand up to an attack of the mark’s validity.  The concept of ‘Use in Commerce’ is essential for every trademark applicant to understand, as a misapplication of this concept can result in an abandoned application or worse, a registration that crumples under a legal challenge.
