House Bill 1856 and its Senate counterpart, SB1048, propose changes to Missouri's trademark statute. Aside from raising the filing fee to $75 per class, changes include the introduction of limitations on registrability modeled after Section 2(d) of the Lanham Act, and the introduction of intent-to-use trademark applications. The latter does not appear to be completely thought out, since a facsimile of use is still a requirement for filing.
