Book excerpt: The taking, use or exhibition of the symbol "Rx" is limited to licensed pharmacists and entities which employ licensed pharmacists. The taking, use or exhibition of that symbol by any other entity is prohibited. The federal Lanham Trademark Act does not preempt the Kansas prohibition against the use of that symbol by other than licensed pharmacists and entities which employ licensed pharmacists. Thus registration of the symbol "Rx" as a service mark pursuant to the federal Lanham Trademark Act does not exempt a furniture refinishing and repairing company from compliance with that Kansas prohibition.
