Does use exclusively in one state satisfy the “use in commerce” requirement for a trademark?

Use in intrastate commerce can satisfy the “use in commerce” requirement for a common law trademark. To qualify for federal registration, however, use in intrastate commerce alone is not enough. There must also be use in interstate or foreign commerce. For more in-depth information about the “use in commerce” requirement, read Chapter 28 of E-Commerce Law or Chapter 3 of IP Law for Non-IP Attorneys.
