1988—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 100–667, §131(a), designated existing provisions as subsec. (a).
Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 100–667, §131(b), redesignated section 1121a of this title as subsec. (b) of this section and substituted “service marks†for “servicemarks†in two places.
1982—Pub. L. 97–164 inserted “(other than the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit)â€.

Amendment by Pub. L. 105–330 effective Oct. 30, 1998, and applicable only to any civil action filed or proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office commenced on or after such date relating to the registration of a mark, see section 201(b) of Pub. L. 105–330, set out as a note under section 1051 of this title.
