A. It is a petty misdemeanor for any person or firm, except the registrant, any person or firm having the written consent of the registrant or any person or firm having purchased the articles from the registrant, to:
(1) sell, buy, rent, give, take or otherwise traffic in any articles provided as part of a laundry service bearing a trademark or trade name registered as a laundry service mark; or
(2) obliterate or otherwise conceal or remove from any articles provided as part of a laundry service a trademark or trade name registered as a laundry service mark.
B. The registrant's acceptance of any sum of money as a deposit to secure the safekeeping and return of any articles bearing a trademark or trade name registered as a laundry service mark does not constitute a sale of the articles.
C. The use or possession by any person or firm other than the registrant, without the written consent provided in this section, of any articles bearing a trademark or trade name registered as a laundry service mark is presumptive evidence of unlawful use of, or traffic in, such articles. Any person or any member of a firm, corporation or association which has acquired the articles, by purchase or otherwise, with the registrant's written consent is not required to register the trademark or trade name again, but acquires the same rights and benefits as the vendor.
