No Stolen Trademarks Honored in America Act
This bill amends a 1999 appropriations law to prevent U.S. government entities from honoring trademarks tied to confiscated foreign assets. It directly affects businesses or individuals claiming trademark rights over marks previously used in connection with assets seized by foreign governments, unless the original owner or their legal successor consented. The key change requires that anyone asserting trademark rights must have known or had reason to know the mark was linked to confiscated assets. The bill also adds a new requirement that such rights can only be enforced if the claimant had actual knowledge of the confiscation at the time of acquisition.
