To obtain a registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, an applicant must show a bona fide use of the mark in interstate commerce. But how do you prove use in commerce if your goods are imaginary? Like, let's say an imaginary card game that's an integral part of the plot to Han Solo getting the Millennium Falcon? Well the trademark story of Sabacc is quite interesting.
