§ 208. Labels, brands and marks used by labor organizations. 1. A bona   fide union or association of employees which has adopted a device in the   form of a label, brand, mark, name or other character for the purpose of   designating  the  products  of the labor of its members may apply to the   commissioner for the registration of such device.2. An application for such  registration  shall  be  made  on  a  form   prescribed   by   the   commissioner  and  shall  be  accompanied  by  a   non-refundable filing fee of ten dollars.  Notice of the filing of  such   application shall be given by the commissioner to interested persons and   unions  in  such  manner  as  the  commissioner shall by rule prescribe.   Within twenty days following the date of such notice of application, any   union or aggrieved person may  submit  to  the  commissioner  a  written   objection  to  the  registration  of  the  device.  If  no  objection is   submitted,  the  commissioner  may  register  the  device  and  issue  a   certificate of registration. Such certificate shall not be assignable.3.  If  an  objection  to  the  registration  is  duly  filed with the   commissioner, the commissioner shall promptly refer the objection to the   board of standards and appeals.  Upon due notice the board shall conduct   a hearing to determine whether the registration  should  be  granted  or   denied. The board may deny registration on any of the following grounds:a.  That  the union or association of employees filing the application   for registration is not a bona fide union;b. That the union or association of employees filing  the  application   for registration is not the rightful owner thereof;c.  That  the union or association of employees filing the application   for registration has made misrepresentations concerning the device; ord. That the device sought to be registered by the union or association   of employees is so similar to a device previously registered by a  union   or association of employees that it is calculated to deceive.4. On petition of a union or aggrieved person, the registration of any   device   may  be  revoked  by  the  board  if  it  determines  that  the   registration was granted improperly or was obtained fraudulently.5. The determination of the board may  be  reviewed  pursuant  to  the   provisions of article seventy-eight of the civil practice law and rules.6.  The  commissioner and the board shall promulgate appropriate rules   and regulations to carry into effect the provisions of this section.
