regulations promulgated by the Secretary. The filing shall include, but not be

if a corporation, the state of incorporation, or if a partnership, the state in
which the partnership is organized and the names of the general partners;

mode or manner in which the mark is used on or in connection with the goods
or services, and the class comprising the goods or services;

used in this state by the applicant or his predecessor-in-interest; and
(d)A statement that the applicant is the owner of the mark, that the mark is in use
in this state, and that, to the knowledge of the person verifying the application,
no other person has registered, either federally or in this state, or has the right
to use the mark in this state in an identical form or in such near resemblance
as to be likely, when used on or in connection with the goods or services of
the other person, to cause confusion or mistake, or to deceive.
(2)The Secretary may require a statement as to whether any applications to register the
mark or portions or a composite of it have been filed by the applicant or his
predecessor-in-interest in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The
Secretary may require applicants who have or whose predecessors have filed with
the United States Patent and Trademark Office to include the filing date and serial
number of each application, the status of the application and, whether the
application was finally refused registration or has otherwise not resulted in a
registration and the reasons therefor.
(3)The Secretary may also require that a drawing of the mark, complying with
requirements specified by the Secretary, accompany the application.
(4)The application shall be signed by the applicant or a person authorized to sign on
behalf of the applicant. The application shall contain a statement, under oath, that
the information provided is true, complete and correct. Any person who makes a
material false statement which he does not believe to be true in the application shall
be in violation of KRS 523.030.

(3)specimens showing the mark as
actually used.
