Historic buildings and structures may keep the name they have traditionally been known by. This applies to properties on or eligible for the National Register, or designated as landmarks by a State or local government, even though a separate trademark law might otherwise restrict the name.
This section protects historic names. Normally, section 43(c) of the Trademark Act of 1946 (15 U.S.C. 1125(c)) can restrict the use of certain names. But that rule does not stop a building or structure from keeping the name it has always been known by, if the building or structure is on the National Register*, eligible for the Register (whether alone or as part of a historic district), or designated as an individual landmark or a contributing building in a historic district by a State* or local government*.
Notwithstanding section 43(c) of the Act of July 5, 1946 (known as the Trademark Act of 1946) (15 U.S.C. 1125(c)), buildings and structures on or eligible for inclusion on the National Register* (either individually or as part of a historic district), or designated as an individual landmark or as a contributing building in a historic district by a unit of State* or local government*, may retain the name historically associated with the building or structure.
