§ 34651 California Brand Registration Requirement

Key Takeaways

  • •You can't put 'Registered in California' or 'Reg. Cal.' on any container or equipment unless the brand is officially registered in California.
  • •This rule is about making sure labels are truthful and not misleading.
  • •If you break this rule, you're doing something illegal.

Example

A company sells bottles of olive oil with 'Reg. Cal.' printed on the label, but the brand is not registered in California.

This is against the law because the company is using 'Reg. Cal.' without actually being registered. They could get in trouble for lying on their label.
