(2) A mark is abandoned if either of the following occurs: (a) Use of the mark has been discontinued with intent not to resume the use. Intent not to resume use may be inferred from circumstances. Nonuse for two consecutive years is prima facie evidence of abandonment. (b) A course of conduct of the owner, including a failure to act, causes the mark to lose significance as a mark. (3) A title, character name that a person uses and other distinctive features of a radio or television program may be registered as a service mark notwithstanding that the title, name or feature or the program may advertise the goods of the sponsor.
