Thanks! The links to INTA articles are unfortunately broken (INTA re-organised their site and did not provide redirects). But I found this one: http://www.inta.org/info/faqsU.html#2 => http://www.inta.org/TrademarkBasics/FactSheets/Pages/TrademarkUseFactSheet.aspx Perhaps the ASF page should be updated to use "attributive modifier" rather than "adjective"?
