§482-7 Application of law; reissue on nonuser. Sections 482-1 to 482-9 are applicable to all registrations filed in the office of the director of commerce and consumer affairs; the intent hereof being that all prints, labels, trademarks, service marks, or trade names not used by the applicant in the State or elsewhere in the United States and not registered in the name of the applicant in the patent and trademark office of the United States may be immediately reissued to such applicant who is actually using the same.

The fact that a print, label, trademark, service mark, or trade name has not been used in the State for a period of one year shall be prima facie proof of the fact that the same has not been used elsewhere for such period.
